It’s not often I become food-obsessed with a particular recipe. I usually only cook a recipe once or twice before moving on to another culinary delight. This dairy-free Garlic Cream Sauce is just too yummy and indulgent to forget about though!

I’m sharing the recipe for just the sauce below. It has graced our meals in many ways over the last month. I tossed it with a skillet of ground beef, plantain and kale (as seen in the photos). We’ve drizzled it over tender roasted carrots, mixed it with zucchini noodles and shrimp, and tossed it with steamed broccoli which is totally reminiscent of broccoli with cheese sauce.

The best part of this creamy, flavorful sauce is that it’s made of veggies! If you’re stumped on where to find truffle salt, I order it online from Wild Foods Co.

If you’re looking for a lower carb option, you can try making this recipe with cauliflower in place of the sweet potato but it may not be as creamy. I would add just a half cup of coconut milk at first and then determine if the cauliflower sauce needs more liquid.

Happy eating!

      Could you please tell me the ingredients in grams? Ive attempted to convert but there is no decisive
      information on the internet. 1 cup of sweet potato for example ranges from 133g to 150g
      My sauce is way too thick and there is no gelatin in it!
      Kind Regards

      Do you know how long I can keep this sauce in the fridge?

    • Kristi says

      Are the sweet potatoes cooked first or do you add them in raw?

  • Ann Beaulieu says

    Hi!

    I live in Québec, Canada and as of yet I have not been able to find white sweet potato anywhere. Could this recipe be done with the orange ones? Of course the colour would change but I am wondering if the taste would be the same.

    Thanks’
    Ann

    • Alaena says

      Hi Ann! Yes it can be done with orange but the color will change dramatically and the taste slightly (orange is sweeter than white flesh sweet potatoes).

    • Fran says

      Ann, oui je sais…. 🙄 Tu peux essayer de les faire bouillir un peu avant pour diminuer le sucre. Change pas vraiment la couleur par contre. Bonne chance! Je suis en plein dedans, on va voir!

  • Joy says

    Thanks for the new recipe! Can’t wait to try it! 😊 If you are having trouble finding sweet potatoes other than the traditional, I suggest trying your Asian groceries or other ethnic markets. Here is a great article all about sweet potatoes. https://www.all-about-sweet-potatoes.com/sweet-potato-varieties.html

    This recipe has ONIONS in it, which are prohibited by the AIP diet.

    • Angie Alt says

      Hi R-
      Onions are not prohibited on the AIP diet. You may be confusing it w/ taking a Low FODMAP approach to eating, which helps control SIBO symptoms, but is not a part of the AIP diet.

    Love your recipes! Do you mince the garlic before adding it to the pot or leave the cloves whole? Thank you!

  • Donna Lighty says

  • Kendra says

    I’ve never heard of truffle salt. Can I substitute pink salt which is what I have on hand?

    • Mickey Trescott says

      Hi Kendra! Truffle salt is very flavorful, you can definitely substitute pink salt but you will be missing the truffle flavor. I say go for it, but if you get a chance to get your hands on some truffle salt, it will be fun to add to your flavor collection!
