Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and core, and then cut it into florets.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, in a small pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside.
Drain the cooked cauliflower and place it into a blender or food processor. Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a potato masher or immersion blender for a chunkier texture.
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a large bowl. Stir in half of the cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon.
Spread the cauliflower mash into a serving bowl, then top with the remainder of the cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately as a delicious and satisfying keto-friendly dish!
