If like me you're doing your best to avoid those evil carbs and sugar but there are limitations to your diet then a lovely gratin should be right up your alley? I've messed around with a couple of different cheese sauce recipes but just don't like the heavy creamy sauce with tons of mozzarella to thicken them, I've tried using coconut flour to replace plain or all purpose flour but that was a total disaster. 
Then I thought what about xanthan gum? But my experience before was frustrating because adding xanthan gum to liquid is very difficult, but then I saw a video by Alex the brilliantly weird Frenchman who loves to mess around with science and cooking, he discovered that by simply mixing the gum into oil or fat first, it blends beautifully and well a roux based sauce starts with mixing fat and flour anyway so I had another try and am really pleased with the result.

So why not check out my recent video for keto pasta and knock up a gorgeous lasagne? Or cauliflower cheese or even make this keto bechamel sauce a lot thicker by using less milk and you can prepare Spanish croquettas? 

I do hope you give my keto bechamel sauce a try, you'll love it.
