Ingredients
  

  • 1 head (approx 2 lbs) Large head of fresh cauliflower (cut into florets)
  • 2 oz Softened cream cheese
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 0.33 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh chives (finely snipped)

Method
 

  1. Place cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes until completely fork-tender.
  2. Discard water, return cauliflower to hot pot, and steam-dry on low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate surface moisture.
  3. In a small pan, melt butter with minced garlic over low heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Transfer cauliflower to a food processor with cream cheese, garlic butter, Parmesan, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  5. Puree on high for 60-90 seconds until silky smooth. Garnish with snipped chives, extra butter, and serve warm!
