Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Whipped Cauliflower.
Step 1
Start by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets and cook them until they are incredibly tender, which should take about 10 minutes. After cooking, drain the cauliflower in a colander and let it sit for a moment.
Step 2
To remove excess moisture, place several paper towels over the drained cauliflower. Using the back of a large bowl, press down firmly to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect whipped texture!
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, chicken soup base, roasted garlic, and butter. Stir these ingredients together until they are well blended and creamy.
Step 4
Next, add the drained cauliflower to the cheese mixture. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 3 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and creamy. If you prefer a lighter texture, gradually beat in the milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Finally, season your whipped cauliflower with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Give it a final mix to ensure everything is well combined, and then serve it warm. Enjoy this delightful low-carb dish as a side or a base for your favorite toppings!
How to Serve
Serve warm as a side dish, topped with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore creaminess.
