Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Directions
Step 1
Begin by breaking the cauliflower into florets and then washing them thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Place the cauliflower florets into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3
While the cauliflower is cooking, mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 4
Drain the cooked cauliflower in a colander and let it sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Step 5
In the same pot, over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Step 6
Return the drained cauliflower to the pot with the garlic and butter. Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper to the pot.
Step 7
Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the contents to a countertop blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Serve immediately, topped with chopped chives for garnish.
