What Makes This Recipe Great
I did it! You’re looking at the world’s BEST keto mashed cauliflower, and it is about to change your life. It is seriously as good as mashed potatoes, but this cauliflower mash is also keto, whole30 + dairy-free!
The best part? It’s less than 5 carbs per serving!
Ingredient Notes
Cauliflower: I highly recommend using frozen cauliflower rice for this keto cauliflower mash. It has the most neutral flavor and is the easiest to use to make creamy, lump-free mashed cauliflower that isn’t watery.
Broth: The higher quality of your bone broth or stock, the more flavorful your mashed cauliflower. I love using my homemade bone broth for the ultimate flavor! You can also use chicken stock, or chicken broth, or to make it vegan use veggie stock or broth!
Cashew Cream: Cashew Cream is my favorite dairy free replacement. Other dairy free options would be original flavor nutpods or coconut cream from a can. Start with 1/4 cup of the nutpods or coconut cream, and add more if needed. Both of these would still be Whole30.
Recipe Step by Step
- Sauté the frozen cauliflower rice until is thawed, then add in the super delicious creamy sauce: bone broth + cashew cream! It gives this mashed cauliflower the most delicious flavor, and keeps it dairy-free!
- After the liquid is absorbed, blend it all up in the food processor. You could also use a blender, but those are harder to scrape the cauliflower mash out of.
After making this keto cauliflower mash, you will never miss mashed potatoes again!
Expert Tips
Dairy: If you’re ok with dairy and not making this keto cauliflower mash during a Whole30, you could use grass-fed butter in place of ghee, and organic heavy cream in place of cashew cream. Start with 1/4 cup heavy cream, and add more if needed. Using heavy cream would make these much lower in carb!

so so so delicious. started making this last year and it’s a favorite! prep work takes a lot of time to wash veggies and cut, etc but so good! i did put this in for 42 min and burned a lot of it so next time will maybe cut back on timing. love your recipes! thank you!
Hi KC! 42 minutes is definitely too long for this recipe. It should be done in just about 15 minutes start to finish! Maybe this comment was intended for another recipe? Love your feedback!!
