Ingredients
Scale
- 2 heads cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed (more or less as desired)
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup almond milk, full-fat coconut milk, or other milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, ghee, or allergen-friendly buttery spread
Instructions
Potato Masher/Electric Mixer Method
- Steam cauliflower until easily pierced with a fork. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher to break the florets down. If you don’t have a potato masher, then a fork will do for this step.
- Next add the pressed garlic, sea salt, coconut oil (or butter of choice), and almond milk. Blend with an electric mixer on a LOW to MEDIUM speed until the cauliflower resembles mashed potatoes.
- Consume within about 24 hours. Contents may separate during refrigeration.
High Speed Blender Method
- Steam cauliflower until easily pierced with a fork. In a high speed blender, add the milk, steamed cauliflower, sea salt, and garlic in that order, and blend on a LOW. Stream in more milk if the blades clog.
- Once the desired consistency is reached, pour into a serving bowl and top with herbs, coarse black pepper, additional sea salt, or coconut oil/olive oil/ghee/butter.
- Refrigerate leftovers for about two days.
