Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and discard the tough core.
Fill a large pot with about two inches of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the cauliflower florets to a steamer basket or a colander and place over the boiling water.
Cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium, and steam for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
Drain the cauliflower and let it sit for a couple of minutes in the colander to remove excess moisture.
Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor or a large bowl if using an immersion blender.
Add cream cheese, butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower.
Blend or mash until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh chives.
Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy your Keto Creamy Mashed Cauliflower.
