Notes
**The cauli mash freezes well.
**DOUBLING THE RECIPE: increase cooking time to 15 minutes and double all ingredients (particularly recommended if using to top a pie)
**Cream cheese can be substituted with cooking cream or coconut cream (for a dairy free version). Sour cream and milk also both work well.
**Different flavours can be added – try adding garlic, chives or parmesan cheese before blending for an added burst of flavour.

I cannot believe how easy this is to make and the cream cheese takes the flavour to the next level! This has become a regular (potato/rice/pasta replacement) in our household since we are trying to cut back on carbohydrates. Thanks for sharing.
This is the first time I have EVER commented on a recipe. This was absolutely delicious and SO easy. Definitely a 5 star recipe.
That was delicious!! I put in half sour cream and half cream with parmesan cheese and wow!! Thank you so easy to make.
Does this freeze well?
A definate NO for my kids 😔 totally lost them with this one – didn’t say it was cauliflower just didn’t like it at all, SORRY
Absolutely delicious- I used sour cream! Will do often ✅✅
I used plain greek yoghurt and it was so good!
A regular mash recipe that I use almost weekly, very filling as well using the cream cheese, yum!
I make this at least once a week. Easy, healthy and delicious!
Yum!
This was so good. I am lactose intolerant so didn’t add the cream cheese.
This pairs nicely with the chicken cacciatore in THM2 to make a complete meal.
Wow!!! Even better than mashed potatoes, I didn’t tell my fussy eaters, that it was cauliflower, they all loved it, will be making this ALL THE TIME, thank you!!
Such a great find no wheat no dairyphew
Thank you so much xx
Love this mash! It is amazing using the flavoured Philadelphia cream cheeses too, especially the chives one 🙂
Just had this for dinner last night. My potato loving teen thought it was mashed potatoes. Truly an easy & delicious side to accompany any meal.
This recipe is a weekly must for us! It’s a great sub for white sauce in a lasagne, on top of corner bees and works well with frozen cauliflower too!
