An awesome keto mushroom sauce is a handy recipe to have. This recipe is so simple yet so delicious!

For someone who used to hate mushrooms I am a huge fan now and I just love this sauce served with chicken or a steak. Read on for a few alternative ways to adapt the recipe and to serve with your favourite keto dinners.

Keto Mushroom Sauce Ingredients

Alrighty, this is an easy keto recipe you are going to love. Making a keto creamy mushroom sauce is not hard. It takes no fancy ingredients but I do have a couple of variations to suit your tastes.

I used very simple button mushrooms in this recipe. However, you can add some rehydrated forest mushroom mix, portobello, pine, or swiss brown mushrooms. Whatever mushrooms you prefer you can use. For more of a keto mushroom gravy large brown mushrooms will add a richer deeper flavour to the keto gravy.

Cream and butter – I have used a thickened (or heavy) cream for the mushroom sauce recipe. However, for a dairy free option you can swap the butter for avocado oil and the cream for stock or bone broth (or coconut cream) of preferred. This is perfect for a paleo or keto vegan mushroom sauce option too. The parmesan can also be swapped for nutritional yeast flakes for a “cheesy” flavour.

Fresh herbs – while I have used fresh parsley fresh thyme, tarragon or dill are perfect herbs that go with mushrooms too.

How to Make Low Carb Mushroom Sauce

Making a creamy keto mushroom sauce is super easy.

Firstly, I start off with a wide based frying pan over medium high heat. Add the butter and melt until foaming then add garlic and mushrooms. Stir to coat the mushrooms in the butter.

Continue to sautè until the mushrooms are lightly golden.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook stirring for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat and serve the sauce with your meal.

I have also included how to make keto mushroom sauce with your Thermomix as well, for all our thermie fans.

Alternative Ways to Serve It

The mushroom sauce can be served in endless ways but here are just a few of my favourites.

Served hot with toasted Low Carb Bread.

As pictured over a grilled steak and a side of your favourite low carb vegetables.

This creamy mushroom sauce is perfect with pan-fried chicken breast or even with pan-fried strips of beef, pork or sausages.

FAQs and Tips

Are mushrooms keto? Yes! At less than 2g carbs per 1 cup you can happily enjoy mushrooms on a keto diet.

What mushrooms are best in a creamy mushroom sauce? Even though this recipe uses the white button mushrooms any mushrooms of choice, or a combination can be used. Portobello, pine, oyster or brown mushrooms to name a few.

Can the sauce be frozen? I wouldn’t recommend it although it can be. If you do freeze it please reheat over a gentle heat careful not to split the cream.

How do you make a keto creamy mushroom sauce dairy free? You can use any dairy free cream base preferred. Coconut cream is a strong flavour but I would suggest a vegetable or chicken stock mixed with a little roasted cauliflower and pureed would be perfect!

  Loved this sauce! So good. Realized at the last minute I did not have Parmesan, so I substituted cheddar cheese. It was delish!
