- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Begin by removing the green leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring several inches of water to a boil. Insert a steaming basket, add the cauliflower florets, and cover the pot.

Steam the cauliflower for about 10-12 minutes or until very tender.

While the cauliflower is steaming, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook gently for about 3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
In a food processor or blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, garlic butter mixture, heavy cream, and cream cheese.
Step 7
Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure an even texture.
