Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces (340 g / 12 oz) frozen cauliflower florets
  • 3 tablespoons (42.5 g / 1.5 oz) salted butter, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) heavy whipping cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • for Perfect Caulimash
  • For the absolute creamiest, non-watery texture, place the cooked cauliflower in a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel and squeeze out all excess moisture before blending.
  • Elevate your mash by blending in flavorful additions like roasted garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, fresh chives, or a handful of grated Parmesan cheese.
  • For a deeper, nuttier flavor, you can roast the cauliflower florets at 400°F / 200°C until tender and lightly golden before proceeding with the recipe.
  • An immersion blender can be used directly in the cooking pot for easier cleanup, though a food processor will yield the smoothest possible result.

Method
 

  1. Cook the cauliflower florets according to the package directions, typically by steaming or boiling until very tender.
  2. Drain thoroughly in a colander, shaking to remove as much water as possible.
  3. Transfer the hot, drained cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor or a high-powered blender.
  4. Add the 3 tablespoons (45 ml / 1.5 fl oz) of butter and the heavy cream.
  5. Pulse the mixture until it breaks down, then blend on high until it reaches a silky-smooth and creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to your liking.
  7. Transfer the hot caulimash to a serving bowl.
  8. Top with an extra pat of butter and a crack of black pepper before serving immediately.
