Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower cut into florets
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • fresh chives chopped for serving, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Steam the cauliflower until fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. Allow the cauliflower to cool enough to handle and then use a paper towel to dab it dry as much as possible.
  2. Place the warm cauliflower in a large bowl along with the parmesan cheese, butter, cream cheese, garlic powder and salt. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. You can also mash them with a fork for a more chunky consistency.
  3. Serve warm with fresh chives, and melted butter, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
