Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Cauliflower Rice
- 250 ml Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 50 grams Cream Cheese
- 30 grams Ground Almonds (Almond Flour)
- 10 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener of choice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Begin by placing the cauliflower rice into a medium saucepan.
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the pan with the cauliflower rice.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture is simmering, stir in the cream cheese until it has fully melted and incorporated.
Add the ground almonds (also known as almond flour) to the pan, stirring continuously to combine well.
Mix in the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Add the vanilla extract, sweetener of your choice, pinch of salt, and cinnamon to the porridge, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches your desired creamy consistency. This should take about 10 more minutes.
Once thickened, remove the porridge from heat and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.
Divide the creamy porridge into two bowls and serve warm. You can garnish with additional cinnamon or your favorite low-carb toppings such as nuts or berries if desired.
