Keto Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Ingredients

Step by Step Instructions

  1. 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.

    For this step

    • 1 pound fresh cauliflower florets
  2. To a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in almond flour and stir for 30 seconds.

    For this step

    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 3 tablespoons almond flour (optional)
  3. 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.

    For this step

    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 teaspoon salt
  4. 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.

    For this step

    • 6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 3 oz gruyere cheese, shredded
  5. Add cauliflower florets into the cheese sauce and stir until florets are well coated. Serve immediately.
