Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
Whisk in the cream cheese until smooth and fully incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese sauce, stirring well to combine.
Add the cooked cauliflower florets to the saucepan, tossing gently to coat them evenly with the cheese sauce.
Transfer the cauliflower mac and cheese mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Homemade Mac and Cheese!
