  • 1 ½ cups organic heavy cream
  • cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

TO MAKE THE SAUCE:

  • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter until melted. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit. Remove from heat.
  • Use this delicious garlic parmesan sauce on your favorite handheld foods like fries, sweet potato fries, sandwiches, salads, as a dipping sauce, etc.
  • Add cooled sauce/dressing to your favorite mason jar or tightly sealed container and refrigerate for 3-4 days for optimal freshness.

Notes

  • SERVING SIZE: This recipe makes enough for about 1 ½ cups of sauce, however, for more or a larger batch simply double or triple the ingredients. 
  • DAIRY-FREE OPTION: To make this sauce entirely dairy-free, simply substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream or milk, the butter with vegan butter, and the cheese with dairy-free parmesan.
