To a large stockpot, place a steamer basket into the pot and fill the pot with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets to the steamer basket, cover and let steam for 3-5 minutes or until cauliflower is fork tender. Remove from heat and any water and set aside.

To a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in almond flour and stir for 30 seconds.

Slowly add heavy cream while stirring constantly. Add salt. Let mixture come to a boil and let simmer for 5-7 minutes or until mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Once cream base has thickened, slowly add in shredded cheese, adding in a handful at a time and stirring until smooth. Continue until all the cheese has melted and cheese sauce is smooth and creamy. Remove cheese sauce from heat.
