Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Saucepan
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 stick butter
- 2 TB cream cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, shredded parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Having everything on hand makes the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
- In a medium-sized pot, add the butter and allow it to melt over medium heat. This will create a rich base for your sauce, and you’ll want to keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Once the butter is melted, stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Use a whisk to combine these ingredients thoroughly. You’ll notice the mixture start to thicken, and the creaminess will begin to shine through.
- Continue to stir until the cream cheese has fully melted and incorporated into the sauce. This should take about a minute or two, and it’s essential to keep the heat at medium to avoid scalding the cream.
- Next, stir in the shredded parmesan cheese. This will add a savory depth to the sauce. Keep stirring until the cheese has melted and melded into the sauce, creating a beautiful, creamy texture.
- Add the garlic powder to the mixture and stir to combine. This will give your sauce that classic Italian flavor that we all love. If you're a fan of garlic, feel free to adjust the amount to your preference.
- Let the sauce simmer on low for about 15 to 20 minutes. This slow cooking process allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat. You'll have a luscious White Pizza Sauce that’s perfect for spreading on your favorite pizza dough.
- Spread the sauce generously over your prepared pizza base and top with your favorite ingredients. Bake according to your pizza dough instructions and enjoy!
- Finally, step back and admire your creation! You’ve just made a delicious White Pizza Sauce that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy your homemade pizza night!
