    Ok, so, whether you're hosting a party, or you need a side dish for one, this dip recipe is sure to be a hit!

    In fact, your guests will have no idea this is a low carb keto pizza dip that's how good it is. I mean, it's basically pizza without the crust, and who doesn't love pizza?!

    Now, I'm sure you're thinking, "Joe, pizza dip is great, but WHAT CAN I DIP INTO THIS that's low carb & keto?"

    Well, I have some suggestions...

    • My 2 Minute Keto Bread Recipe - Cut up and toasted
    • Pork Rinds
    • Parm Crisps
    • My 2 Ingredient Keto Crackers
    • Quest Chips

    By the way, I used my 2 Minute Bread to dunk into this pizza dip, and it was incredible!

    So, that's my number 1 suggestion.

    How To Make Keto Pizza Dip

    As I mentioned, this dip is incredibly easy to make.

    There are very few ingredients, and from-start to finish it takes about 15 minutes to put together.

    Speaking of ingredients, you'll need...

    • Milk
    • Cream Cheese
    • Mozzarella
    • Keto Pizza Sauce
    • Pepperoni

    So, basically you're going to add the first 3 ingredients to a pot and melt them together.

    Once melty, spread everything evenly on an 8x8 baking dish, top with keto pizza sauce, followed by more cheese, and then lastly pepperoni.

    Now at this point, you'll just toss that dish into the oven, and broil until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.

    Literally it's that easy to make this dip!

    Low Carb Keto Ingredients For This Pizza Dip

    Ok, I have some tips for you to keep this dip as low carb as possible.

    There are a few ingredients you can use that can drastically reduce the number of carbs in the dip.

    So let's get into them...

    Low carb pizza dip in a dish

    Choose The Right Milk

    Number one, use a "milk alternative" instead of regular milk.

    Milk has a lot of carbs...but almond milk, macadamia nut milk, and cashew milk all have nearly 0 carbs. That said, just make sure you use the unsweetened version of those "milks".

    Cheese

    Shredded mozzarella cheese is definitely the easy choice, but it's not the lowest carb one. To keep the cheese "fresh" companies add starch, and it increases the carb count on the cheese.

    Instead, opt for some fresh mozzarella, and shred it yourself! Fresh mozzarella has next to 0 carbs.

    Pizza Sauce

    There are A LOT of different pizza sauces out there.

    And most are definitely not a good low carb keto option.

    However, a couple of them are. My personal favorite is this one by RAO'S. It only has 2 net carbs per 60 grams, and that's about as low as you're going to find for a sauce.

    Not to mention, RAO'S sauce is just tasty, tasty, tasty!

    That said, no matter what sauce you go with, try to find one that only has 2 net carbs per 60 grams.
