As you can see it has more the consistency of butter or cream rather than

of mashed potatoes, which sucks.

And the taste is also more like butter or cream, even after adding more salt and pepper

than health dictates I eat in a WEEK.

If I am ever in need of butter or cream with a slightly cheesy taste, I'll make this.

If I want mashed potatoes...I guess I'm stuck eating ACTUAL potatoes.

Maybe I processed it too long (I wanted to make sure all the cheese was properly mixed in)

or I put too much cream/butter in there (though I followed the recipe perfectly).

I don't know.

What I do know is that I'm not a big fan of eating pure butter and

even having one single tbsp of it makes me gag, so I'm not going

to eat an ENTIRE BOWL of it.

I tossed it all into the trash after five bites or so.

That was my absolute limit.

Waste of perfectly good cauliflower, if you ask me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My opinion on this:

 

Difficulty:

★ ★ ★ ★

Well, following the recipe is easy enough.

Turning it into something resembling mashed potatoes BY following the recipe,

that's a bit harder.

 

Taste:

★

Three words: Half melted butter.

 

Portion size:

★ ★ ★ ★

Well, considering that entire bowl of cauliflower butter was HALF of the recipe

(with the entire recipe being only 150 kcals) it's actually not bad.

I guess, if I ever needed ten spoonfuls of butter for something,

I could replace it with this and it'd end up perfect, with less than one tenth

the kcal of actual butter.

(but seriously, don't try that, I have NO IDEA what that would do.)

(or actually, DO try it and then take pictures and let us know how it went, okay?)
