Creamy Whole30 Mashed Cauliflower
Description
The recipe starts by chopping a large cauliflower head into florets and processing them into a rice-like texture. These are then cooked in a skillet over medium heat with coconut cream and ghee until the liquid is absorbed. Returning the mixture to the food processor creates a velvety smooth texture.
The use of coconut cream and ghee provides richness and creaminess without dairy, delivering a satisfying mouthfeel. Optional chopped basil adds an herbaceous note that can lighten the dish.
Serve this mashed cauliflower as a side dish to replace heavier starches, pairing well with meats or roasted vegetables. The creamy texture makes it a versatile base in lower-carb meals.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated gently.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower about 4 cups, large head
- 1 can coconut cream about 14 ounces
- 2 tbsp ghee or grass fed butter
- 1/2 tsp basil optional, chopped
Instructions
- First, chop head of cauliflower into florets.
- Then, add florets to a food processor. Process until cauliflower resembles cauliflower rice.
- Add riced cauliflower, ghee, and coconut cream to a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until coconut cream has been absorbed.

Notes
- Ghee can be substituted with grass fed butter if desired.
