Wheat Free GAPS Friendly Cheese Sauce

just like any cheese sauce there is no exact measurements. you just have to get it to the right consistency to suit you


  • Yoghurt preferably home-made for GAPS 

  • As much cheese as you want very much being the answer for me

  • Almond flour 


Pour the yoghurt into pan (any size of your choosing) on a high heat until it starts bubbling slightly then on a low heat stir in most of the cheese. add the flour making sure to stir out any of the lumps once you got it to the consistency you want add the rest of the cheese and then you're done.  I would keep it on the heat until you are ready to serve or if you have made it in advance reheated for serving.
