Yield:12

Equipment

medium saucepan
whisk

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
2 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon salt
8 ounces cheddar grated, about 2 cups

Instructions

Add cream, cream cheese, butter, and salt to medium saucepan.
Cook over medium heat until butter and cream cheese have melted.
Remove saucepan from heat. Gradually whisk in cheddar, stirring until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth and creamy.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Watch your heat and don't let the cheese sauce mixture get too hot! You don't want it to boil.
Be sure to use a cream cheese with the lowest carbs possible, and always full fat. Philadelphia original cream cheese is my personal favorite.
Prepackaged shredded cheddar contains unnecessary carbs from the anti-caking fillers used. I recommend grating your own from a block of cheddar to avoid those!
To reheat leftover cheese sauce, microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the sauce is liquid again. Once liquid, whisk vigorously to completely reincorporate the butter.
