Technically, yes. You can use a vegan mozzarella and soy or almond based cream cheese, but be aware that the taste may not be the same.

What To Serve With Pizza Dip:

Tortilla Chips
Crackers
Cucumber Slices
Celery Sticks
Pork Rinds
Carrot Chips
Cheese Crisps

How To Make Keto Pizza Dip:

Set aside 2 – 8 ounce blocks of full fat cream cheese aside to come to room temperature. Alternatively, you can microwave the cream cheese in a bowl for 45 seconds so it softens.
Preheat oven to 350.
In a medium pan, brown 8 oz of Italian sausage crumbles. This can be hot Italian sausage or mild Italian sausage. If you can’t find ground Italian sausage, buy sausage links and remove from casing.
Once Italian sausage is cooked through, add it to a bowl with the softened cream cheese, Italian seasoning and mix together until everything is evenly combined.
Layer cream cheese and sausage mix on the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with pizza sauce or marinara, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is all the way warmed through.
Serve hot with dippers.

Crock Pot or Slow Cooker Pizza Dip Instructions:

Grease the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add in cooked sausage, Italian seasoning and cream cheese mix to the bottom.
Top with pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni.
Cover with a lid and cook on low for 1-2 hours. Turn to warm once cheese is melted and dip is warmed through.
