The recipe below reminded me of my favorite Creamy Mashed Cauliflower - this is suppose to be Ruby Tuesday's recipe. I use fat free half and half and reduced fat cream cheese...this is so good if put in the oven and brown the top before serving. I make this at least once a week.
* 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
* 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
* 1/3 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
* 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1. Divide a head of cauliflower into florets that are all roughly the same size.
2. Steam cauliflower pieces over boiling water (15 to 20 minutes), or until the cauliflower is tender.
3. When the cauliflower has cooled, put the florets in a food processor.
4. Puree the cauliflower on high speed until smooth, but with some very small pieces of cauliflower remaining in the mix for just a bit of texture.
5. Pour all of the pureed cauliflower into a medium sauce pan.
6. Add the cream, salt, white pepper, cream cheese, powder and onion powder to the cauliflower and stir.
8. Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thick.
