🍽 Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
🔥 Cook Time: 15 minutes
🥣 Makes: About 4 cups creamy mash


🛒 What You’ll Need

  • 1 large cauliflower (about 700 g), chopped into florets
  • 3 tbsp butter (or more if you love it rich)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional but adds amazing flavour)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

👩‍🍳 Method

Step 1: Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until very tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain thoroughly.

Step 2: In a food processor or with a hand blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, butter, cream cheese, garlic, and Parmesan. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add heavy cream a little at a time if you want a looser, silkier texture. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 4: Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately as a rich, buttery swap for mashed potatoes alongside your favourite protein.


💡 Tips from the Keto Kitchen

  • Drain the cauliflower very well to avoid a watery mash
  • Adjust butter and cream cheese to your taste for richness
  • Garlic can be roasted first for a sweeter, more mellow flavour
  • Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to keep it creamy
