Delicious skinny mashed "potatoes" (cauliflower)

Not a fan of cauliflower but this is AMAZING!

From: delightedmomma.com

INGREDIENTS

1 head of cauliflower
1 tablespoon of cream cheese (& 1 tablespoon of butter)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
salt & pepper
Chives for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Wash and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Boil in a pot of water for about 10-15 minutes or until soft and cooked.
Drain and dry using paper towels. Immediately place in food processor or blender (I used an immersion blender). You do not want the cauliflower to cool.
Puree the cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the top with chives and a few dashes of pepper. Serve!
