Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 units garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and the stem, then cut the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

In a large pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes or until they are very tender.

While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Once the cauliflower is tender, drain the water and place the cauliflower back into the warm pot or into a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more heavy cream to reach the desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish to your favorite German-inspired meal.
