Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until they are just tender. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the cream cheese and heavy cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the cheddar is melted and everything is well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the cheese sauce until the broccoli is evenly coated.
Transfer the broccoli mixture into a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, almond flour, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the almond flour mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli and cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious low-carb treat!
