Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the broccoli. Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets, discarding the tough stems.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the broccoli florets. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
Drain the broccoli in a colander and allow it to cool slightly to drain excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl or food processor, combine the drained broccoli, unsalted butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend or mash the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother mash, use a food processor. For a chunkier texture, use a hand masher.
Once mashed, transfer the broccoli mix to a saucepan over medium heat, stirring in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and incorporated.
Taste the mash and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.
