Low-Carb Cauliflower Pizza Dip

May 24, 2018 Amanda Plott

Ever crave pizza but not all the guilt that goes along with it?

Yeah, me too!

I think though, that I may have finally found a way to sate that pizza urge without all the guilt to follow. This cauliflower pizza dip is low-carb, gluten-free, keto-friendly, and... wait for it... absolutely freaking amazing.

You can trust me when I say that no one who eats this dip will ever guess that it's better-for-you in any way, shape, or form. That's because it feels rich and decadent. It feels naughty. It feels so bad... but tastes so good.

A few months back when I was officially doing keto cooking, I came across a recipe for a pizza dip. It was pretty dang good but I couldn't help but feel like something was missing. After some deliberating, I finally came to the conclusion that it was missing the sweet tang of pizza sauce. I mean... who can have pizza without the sauce? Well, not me!

So when going back through the recipe, that was one of the first things I added in - full well knowing it would add a carb or two with each serving. But, I was willing to make that sacrifice in the name of real pizza flavor.

This dip is smooth and creamy and perfectly dipable, drinkable, and spreadable. I served mine hot with pepperoni chips and some 'pizza chips'. But, it would also be good with veggie dippers!

Yum
