    Cauliflower Mash

    So why is this the best cauliflower mash? That's a great question. I would love to answer that by saying that I am not known to exaggerate.

    If a recipe isn't good I won't share it with you. If a recipe is great then I would go all out to let you know it is so that if you've been sitting on the fence about it, you can get off and make it already.

    Just like I highly recommend my Keto bread for bread lovers, I totally recommend this cauliflower mash aka caulimash if you are a mashed potato lover.

    I won't say you won't notice the difference cos you would but this is so darn good and so close that the difference won't matter. You've got to try this.

    What is cauliflower mash or what is caulimash.

    As the name implies, caulimash /cauliflower mash is simply mashed cauliflower. It serves as a substitute to mashed potatoes if you are on a keto or low carb diet

    How to make Keto mashed Cauliflower.

    Make sure to watch that video. That's the easiest way to learn how to make this keto mashed cauliflower.

    To get the creamiest, silkiest mashed cauliflower, you need to have a few tricks under your belt.

    • Remove as much stems as you can when cutting up the cauliflower. It may take a while to do that but well worth it.
    • I like to cook my cauliflower in the microwave. If you'd prefer to cook the cauliflower on the stove top, you would need to use a steam basket. Cooking the cauliflower in the pot without a steam basket will add more water to an already water laden vegetable. Alternatively you can roast the cauliflower.
    • Cook cauliflower till very soft so it blends easily.

    • Use an immersion blender or a food processor. I used my ninja blender because it has blades that go right up and can serve as a food processor. I highly recommended a food processor or immersion blender is because it takes away the need for more liquid when puréeing the cauliflower which will be the case with a standard blender.
    • Cream cheese and Parmesan cheese add flavor and texture to this keto mashed cauliflower 'potatoes '

    How many carbs in mashed cauliflower Potatoes

    These are not potatoes but are called potatoes because Cauliflower kind of replaces potatoes on a keto diet. Not an apple for apple thing, in fact not even close but definitely a great option. A serving of this cauliflower mash has just 3.5g net carbs

    How to make Vegan cauliflower mash

    To make vegan cauliflower mash, swap the butter, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese in this recipe for vegan butter, vegan cream cheese and vegan Parmesan cheese and you are golden. Easy Right?

    Can Keto mashed cauliflower be made ahead

    Yes you can make Keto mashed cauliflower ahead. Simply make the cauliflower mash. Let it cool, then freeze.

    Can you freeze keto Cauliflower mash.

    Cauliflower mash Freezes well and warms up nicely.

    Handy Tools to make keto cauliflower mash

    • Food Processor or immersion blender

    • A good Steam basket if steaming cauliflower on stove top
    • Colander
    • Grated Parmesan Cheese

      Just found you - recipes sound great, can’t wait to try. But I don’t see nutritional data (other than calories) supplied, am I missing somewhere?

        Hi Nancy,

        Glad you found me too! Hope you find the website helpful as well. The nutritional data is usually in the recipe card. However it looks like this recipe is missing it. I have it written right above the recommended section before the recipe card I can grab it and post it here for you.
