Equipment

  • Immersion Blender (Optional)

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Cauliflower Florets Can use Frozen
  • 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth or Water I prefer Chicken Broth for great flavor
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder or 4-6 cloves of roasted garlic
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • In a Sauce Pan Cook Cauliflower or Medium-High Heat with the Chicken Broth
  • Drain Chicken Broth and discard - this adds flavor while cooking, but must be drained well
  • Add the Butter, Heavy Cream and Garlic Powder or if you have roasted garlic use it in place of the garlic powder. I also add my salt and pepper at this point but you can wait until it is mashed and add it then.
  • Using an Immersion blender (you can get one here, and can be used for so many things) mash you Cauliflower. If you don't have an immersion blender a potato masher or mixer can be used, but may result in lumpier consistency.
  • Serve immediately - I add an extra pad of butter to the top and sprinkle with some parsley!

Notes

An Immersion blender works amazing to get a smooth consistency
Make sure you drain the broth or water off the cauliflower the best you can or you will have runny cauliflower - I use a steamer basket to keep the cauliflower up out of the broth (it steams) and helps with moisture content resulting in a firmer mash.
