Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and fold in the cauliflower rice, stirring to combine thoroughly.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each well to the top.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the filled cups for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow the keto mac and cheese cups to cool for at least 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin with a spoon.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, guilt-free keto mac and cheese cups.
