Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and cutting the cauliflower into florets.
Fill a large pot with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Add the cauliflower florets to a steamer basket and place over the boiling water. Cover with a lid and steam the cauliflower until it is very tender, about 10-12 minutes.
After steaming, allow the cauliflower to cool for a few moments, then transfer it to a food processor.
Add the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, and minced garlic to the food processor.
Process the cauliflower mixture until it is smooth and creamy. You may need to pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then process again to combine evenly.
Transfer the creamy mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl.
Garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm.
