Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 6 slices bacon strips
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
Instructions
Chop the cauliflower into florets and steam them in a large pot with about an inch of water until they are fork-tender, roughly 10-12 minutes.
While the cauliflower is steaming, cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until they are crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease, then crumble it into small pieces.
Once the cauliflower is tender, transfer the florets to a large bowl. Add the cream cheese, unsalted butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Using an immersion blender or a food processor, blend the cauliflower mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the crumbled bacon and mix well to incorporate.
Transfer the cauliflower mash into a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly creamy mashed cauliflower with bacon.
