    The amount of garlic absolutely ruined it for me. Will probably do a tiny bit or none next time

      Inspired by a comments from previous posts, l MICROWAVED the cauliflower 4 minutes then added it and the next ingredients to my IMMERSION BLENDER. Awesome results, smooth and creamy. For me, it was simpler, quicker and a much easier clean up. A real keeper!

        Awesome. I made it with the suggestion of cheese baked on top. Hubby liked it too. Definitely a make again

            My sister tells me, she add a couple tbsp of potato flakes and its real close to the real thing

              Another idea that I use is once the mash is complete I top with cheddar and bake in the oven. My husband, who does not do Keto loves this dish

                Was very good Could use a little bit more salt and flavoring. I used 2 cloves garlic, and had to use extra salt. I think next time I would also add more cauliflower and get 5 servings out of it. Will definitely make this again, with just a few tweaks.

                      Similar to how I do it! Sometimes I use Parmesan and sometimes I don't. I cook the cauliflower in a steamer basket in the Instant pot for 4 minutes with quick release. Let it cool enough to handle and put it in a clean thin tea towel or cheese cloth and squeeze as much water out as possible. I use an immersion blender to get a smooth texture. I make this in advance, refrigerate it and heat portions in the microwave as needed.

                        I don’t know what I would do without my instant pot. Thank you for posting this. In my first week on the keto diet and I’m still feeling my way around.

                      1 clove of garlic was extremely strong for us. Maybe the cloves are bigger here? I should've checked the weight :P Awesome recipe though! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

                          Can I use coconut cream instead of sour cream?

                                Made this in my airfryer. Put egg, salt, pepper, and chopped bacon on top of avacodo. Cooked for 10 min at 400F, topped with chives and mozzerella cheese. Crispy on the outside, soft yolk inside, which I liked. Yum! I would make again. Cook longer for a harder yolk.

                                        You definitely can use frozen cauliflower rice.

                                        I was wondering what else I can whip this up in ... thank you! I asked for a food processor for Christmas (lol).
