Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Purple cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the head of purple cauliflower, separating it into small florets.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the florets are tender and easy to pierce with a fork.
Drain the cauliflower well and allow it to sit in the colander for a few minutes to ensure that all excess moisture is removed.
Place the drained cauliflower into a food processor. Add butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese.
Process the cauliflower mixture until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the processor and pulse until fully incorporated.
Taste the mashed cauliflower and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
