1 Blender
1 Cheese grater
1 Colander
1 Stock pot
- 1 Large head cauliflower
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Gouda cheese
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups half and half
- 3 tbsp garlic salt
- 2 tbsp cracked black pepper
- 3 tbsp parsley chopped
- 4 garlic cloves smashed
Bring heavy cream, half and half, and garlic cloves to a simmer in a stock pot on medium-low heat. Careful not to scorch dairy in the pot. (your end product will taste burnt and you'll have to start over)
Add cauliflower into pot, florets side down and cover. Allow this to poach for 15-20 minutes or until cauliflower is fork tender
Break cauliflower up enough to fit into blender. Add liquid mixture in 1/4 cup at a time and blend until smooth, or desired texture.
Season with garlic salt and black pepper to taste. Add in gouda and stir until combined.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an air tight container
