3-Minute White Garlic Pizza Sauce {Dairy Free}

Yea, you read that right – THREE minutes. This sauce can probably be made even faster if you have a powerful food processor and some quick hands.

Who doesn’t love some good pizza? …Actually, I know there are some crazies out there that just really don’t like it. I personally know a couple of them. That’s just unnecessary negativity, in my opinion. IT’S PIZZA! What’s not to love?!

Unfortunately, there’s actually a lot to dislike if you’re dairy, gluten, or grain free, OR just trying to eat clean. Pizza doesn’t typically fit into most “diets,” but if you look hard and put in a bit of effort, a good, guilt-free pizza can be made. This sauce makes it even easier! However, if you’re looking to treat yourself and you don’t have any dietary restrictions, by all means, TREAT YOURSELF! Pizza is definitely a meal that I treat myself to every now and then – gluten, grain, dairy, plenty of grease and all!

I usually go the classic route with a tomato-based sauce topped with sausage or pepperoni. However, if I ever visit a pizza place with a white garlic pizza on the menu, it’s hard to stick with the classic. I’m talking creamy garlic…not the plain pizza drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with minced garlic and veggies. NO, THANKS.

This sauce perfectly mimics that creamy, alfredo-like sauce on those white pizzas. It’s so good, I found myself “taste-testing” it way too much – to the point that I almost didn’t have enough. Whoops!

I love food that comes together quickly and easily. As a food blogger, that’s not always how it goes. Always testing and tweaking a new recipe. However, this sauce, with it’s minimal ingredients, takes the cake (or pie!) for quick and easy. It was effortless and needed minimal work and attention. I’ll take that any day!

A quick homemade sauce, pre-made crust, shredded rotisserie chicken, thinly sliced onions, some cheese (I used Kitehill dairy-free Ricotta for the pizza pictured), and you’ve got yourself a homemade pizza in no time at all!

Let me know how fast you make yours!

Recipe Notes

*Get the chicken bouillon paste that I use HERE. It's seriously THE BEST.

**I have used a Ninja blender, Vitamix, and a small KitchenAid food processor for this recipe. All have worked just fine. With that being said, some blenders out there just do not cut it. LITERALLY. You can take the chance and try it, even if you question it's power. If worse comes to worse, and the cashews do not blend into a smooth consistency, leave the mixture to hang out in the blender and soften. Come back a half-hour later and blend again! Easy peasy!
