- ½ Cup Butter no subs
- 2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 2 oz. Cream Cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon White Pepper
- 2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Blend
- ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 Cup Milk
In a small pot over medium heat, bring the butter and heavy cream to a boil, picture 2. No, this will not break the cream.
Boil until the cream and butter are reduced by nearly half, thicken to coat the back of a spoon, and have a yellow tint to it, picture 3.
Turn the heat down to low.
Add the cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, garlic salt, white pepper and parmesan cheese.
Stir well and whisk in the milk.
At this point, you want the sauce to be hot and melt the cream cheese and parm, but you don't want it to boil again.
Once the cream cheese and parmesan are melted and blended in, take the alfredo off the heat and use as desired.
- After adding the milk, be sure not to allow the sauce to boil, or the sauce may break and become gritty.
- Use this sauce in place of bottled alfredo in the same amounts the recipe you want to use calls for.
