To Reheat on the Stove: Warm it slowly in a small saucepan on low heat, stirring every few minutes to ensure it doesn’t burn.
To Reheat in the MIcrowave: Place in a microwave-safe bowl or container and heat for 30 seconds intervals, stirring in between.
To Freeze: Let cool and place in a Ziploc freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Use a marker to label the Ziploc with the date you froze it on. It will help you remember how long it will stay fresh.
Garlic and butter burn easily, so keep a close eye on them.
Be sure to melt the cream cheese before adding the heavy cream.
Once the low carb alfredo sauce has begun to boil, turn it down to a simmer.
Any brand of cream cheese will work, but Philadelphia is my favorite brand.
Don’t leave it alone, whisk continuously.
