Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 6

Gradually add the remaining low-fat milk while stirring continuously to thicken the sauce.

Step 7

Add the low-fat cream cheese, whisking continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, and adjust to taste.

Step 9

Let the sauce simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches the desired thickness.

Step 10

Serve the low-fat Sahnesauce over pasta or as a creamy sauce for vegetables or chicken dishes.
