Equipment

  • Crock Pot
  • Whisk
  • small bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8oz package cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock or broth
  • 1/3 cup fresh grated cheese: Parmesan or Romano
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Put the heavy cream and chicken broth in a large bowl and whisk with the garlic powder and black pepper.
  • If you wish to use the fresh garlic, go with 3 garlic cloves to keep it mild. Use more if you like extra garlic flavor. Sautéing your fresh garlic in a small skillet with olive oil before adding to the recipe helps bring out its flavor.
  • Add this cream mixture to the crockpot along with the cream cheese, butter and parmesan. No need to stir, just turn the crockpot on LOW for 2 hours.
  • Once the 2 hours are up, turn the crockpot off and stir sauce very well. Replace the lid and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer any unused sauce to an airtight container like a glass jar and refrigerate promptly. The sauce should keep for up to 3-4 days.
  • When you are ready to use it again, reheat it on the stove in a saucepan over low heat for 10 minutes. Whisk it well and use as before.
  • I do not recommend the microwave as it will heat unevenly and may scorch.

  • You can make this in a saucepan if your crockpot is full or you don't have one. Make sure you get all of the ingredients together just like for the crockpot. The easiest way is to melt butter at medium-high heat and then add in the rest of the ingredients so you do not scorch the cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir until creamy then serve up!
  • Try it a different way by pouring this extra creamy sauce over steamed veggies as a cheese topping or try as a tomato free alternative in your favorite lasagna recipe. 
  • Ground meat can be added to your alfredo sauce, but I recommend going with a mild and low fat meat like ground turkey as the fat in the sauce can be overpowering if you pair it with a fatty meat like ground beef, unless it is lean.
  • A great way to add a little heat to your alfredo sauce by finishing it off with a pinch of red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper or a pinch of spicy white pepper.  
Can I use low-fat cream cheese in this recipe?
While you can substitute low-fat cream cheese for the regular version, but for best results I do not recommend using it. It would taste better to use half and half or whole milk instead of heavy cream to reduce the fat.
How long can the sauce stay on warm in the crockpot?
It can stay on warm, but not for more than an hour past the initial cooking time. Even the medium heat of the crockpot on warm will get too hot and have a scorched taste if you leave it in the crock too long.
