Ingredients

• 3 cups Cauliflower florets (roughly chopped)
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Unsalted cashews (soaked for 2–4 hours)
• 1 teaspoon Truffle oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 cup Arugula
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.5 cup Shaved mushrooms (e.g., cremini)
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they become a fine rice-like consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, almond flour, egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin, even pizza crust approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

While the crust is baking, prepare the truffle cashew sauce. Drain the soaked cashews and place them in a blender along with truffle oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, water, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 8

Once the crust is baked, spread a thin layer of the cashew truffle sauce over it.

Step 9

Top the pizza with arugula, cherry tomatoes, shaved mushrooms, and fresh basil leaves.

Step 10

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings and season with cracked black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the toppings are slightly roasted.

Step 12

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Paleo Truffle Pizza!
