Cheese Sauce (0 Carb) - Yummy!!!

[mouseissue]

... You are a man of exquisite, personal tastes perhaps!

Not so much, ausgirl... I think I acquired a taste for wine in some recipes way back when I was young and was experimenting with recipes in my mom's kitchen.

Sometimes, things came out fantastic. And others, where the even the dog would turn up her nose at them.
It was all part of learning how to cook.

Hahaha we've all been there!

I just made this sauce....but now have just realised that the cream I had is 1 carb per 15 mls.....yikes, I'm now adding up the unfortunate carb cost!

Why on earth does Canada have no carb heavy cream?

I have no idea. ausgirl.

Here in the states, some brands of heavy whipping cream have carbs while others do not.
That's why it's so important to read those nutrition labels VERY carefully BEFORE buying.

I hope you can find some that's 0 carb!
So many great recipes use it.

[ausgirl]

I have no idea either! Grrrrrr

The sauce itself was lovely, however I put it in the oven to bake and it kind of liquified, so another lesson learnt!

I guess the good thing is though, because it was kind of "runny", I didn't have much of the cream.....lol

It was still delicious, but now I know, I won't do that again!

If you can find Lactancia Heavy Whipping Cream it is 0 carbs.  That is what I had been buying and happened to pick up Neilson last time and didn't realize until I got it home that it had carbs.  Leason learned, stop and read in the store, don't grab things in a rush.

Agreed ShihtzuMom.  I'll look for that, but I can't recall seeing it.  Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, Tony!

I want to try this soon. I just got some 0 carb habanero spicy mustard. I'm curious if that would be good in something like this, too.

Almost any mustard will work.
It just depends on the flavor you're shooting for.
If you like spicy hot, try Chinese mustard.

We made this last night. Didn't add the sherry, but used Habanero Mustard instead. Had a great little 'kick' to it and went perfect with broccoli. Thanks, mouseissue! We'll definitely be making this again!

You're very welcome, Rena!  

This sauce is SOOOOO versatile.
My wife and I use this sauce with so many different dishes, it would blow your mind.

Like you found, adding other seasonings like Habanero Mustard, you can get a whole new flavor experience.
Also, by adding other cheeses like real grated Parmesan & Romano PLUS some Oregano, you can have a wonderful Italian sauce that's different than Alfredo.

I made up a small batch last night and added some fresh roasted garlic.
I poured this over roasted chicken breasts and...... OHHH MAN!!!...... SOOO YUMMY!!!
