Description

Make creamy, flavorful mashed cauliflower quickly using an electric pressure cooker.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the cauliflower florets and broth into the Instant Pot liner.
  2. Secure the lid and set the vent to sealing.
  3. Cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.
  4. Allow for a Natural Pressure Release for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  5. Carefully remove the cauliflower and set aside. Drain any excess liquid from the pot.
  6. Return the cauliflower to the Instant Pot. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and butter.
  7. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to blend until smooth.
  8. Stir in the cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, use a food processor instead of an immersion blender.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier flavor.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk or reserved cooking liquid.
