Used:
• 1 wedge Laughing Cow (20 cal)
• 3 tsp cottage cheese (Daisy, 4%)
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder
• Blended with immersion blender
That’s it. It came out fluffy and stayed that way. No puddle, no soup vibes. I’ve been messing with mashed cauliflower for years and this is the first time it felt close to that filling volume texture. Pretty sure the Laughing Cow made the difference. Is it mashed potatoes? No. Is it tough to beat at 150 calories. Probably. But it’s a great side to the steak I’m about to eat.

How much cauliflower for that amount of cheese?
If what you say is true I will probably eat 300 calories worth of this 3 times a week, lol.
Did you squeeze excess liquid out of the cauliflower or anything?
Ooh thanks for the tip! I have to try this sometime. I’ve done half-cauliflower half-potato, but didn’t think to add cheese! 🧀
did you boil the cauliflower before mashing? or roast it?
for a touch of potato-like sweetness + filling and also so you don’t have to wring out or worry too much about the liquid i recommend adding and mixing in 2 tsp of coconut flour. That stuff expands like crazy and is VERY low calorie. 1/4 cup of it equals 1 cup of regular flour so definitely stay conservative.
