01 Step

Recipe View 10 mins Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cauliflower florets and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the cauliflower is fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander, shaking to remove excess water. (Estimated time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Pour the blended cauliflower mixture into a large saucepan. Place over low heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, butter, cream cheese, and sea salt. Continue to stir until all ingredients are melted and well combined, creating a smooth and luscious mash. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the cauliflower before mashing. Toss the florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. This adds a delightful nutty sweetness to the final dish.
If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk, and use nutritional yeast in place of Parmesan cheese. Be sure to adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor. Garlic powder, onion powder, chives, or roasted garlic can all add a unique touch.
