Notes

Cut your cauliflower into similar sized pieces so that it will all cook at the same rate.
I prefer to use a food processor for this recipe for the creamiest result, but you can also make a chunky mixture by using a potato masher.
This recipe will work with either fresh or frozen cauliflower. Frozen cauliflower is pre-cooked, so all you’ll need to do is thaw it and warm it through before use.
