Rinse the cauliflower and broccoli under cold water. Cut the cauliflower into florets and the broccoli into smaller florets.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10 minutes, until soft and tender.
Remove the cauliflower using a slotted spoon and place in a colander to drain. Add the broccoli to the same boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, cream cheese, unsalted butter, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and heavy cream.
Using an immersion blender or stand blender, blend until the mixture is smooth and has a mashed potato consistency.
Add the cooked broccoli to the cauliflower mixture. Blend briefly, allowing the broccoli to break down slightly but still maintaining some texture.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chives.
Serve hot as a comforting, keto-friendly side dish.
