Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives or parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head. Cut it into florets that are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower florets and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and easily pierced with a knife.
Once cooked, drain the cauliflower thoroughly in a colander, allowing it to sit for a couple of minutes to let as much steam escape as possible. This will prevent the mash from becoming watery.
Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor. Add the butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese.
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is well combined.
Season the mash with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend briefly to incorporate the seasonings.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a bit more heavy cream.
Transfer the creamy cauliflower mash to a serving bowl. Garnish with chives or parsley, if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main course. Enjoy your low-carb, keto-friendly cauliflower mash!
