Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cauliflower thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets, discarding the tough stem.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water.

Cook the cauliflower for 8-10 minutes, or until it is fork-tender. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the fauxtatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb fauxtatoes as a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes.
