Whole30 + Keto Mashed Cauliflower (Dairy Free!)
The BEST Whole30 + Keto Mashed Cauliflower Recipe + Video – creamy, dairy free mashed cauliflower. Low carb mashed potato substitute! Paleo, gluten free, grain free, dairy free, sugar free, clean eating, real food.
I did it! It’s done!
You’re looking at the world’s BEST mashed cauliflower, and it is about to change your life. It is seriously as good as mashed potatoes, but keto, whole30 + dairy free! And is less than 5 carbs per serving!
How To Make Whole30 + Keto Mashed Cauliflower
This cauliflower mash starts off with frozen cauliflower rice. Not only is it the cheapest and most convenient, but it has the most mild cauliflower flavor!
I sauté until the frozen cauliflower rice 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, you 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, you will never miss mashed potatoes again!

How is it dairy free with Ghee?
Ghee has all the dairy solids scraped off. It is only the fat. So dairy free!
If not concerned with dairy can you sub cashew cream for milk/heavy cream, etc.?
Of course! Heavy cream would be the perfect substitute if you’re ok with dairy!
Do you think this recipe could be made and then frozen for a side to go with another freezer meal?
I haven’t tried it, but I would think so! May just need a good stirring after thawing and reheating. If you try and it works let me know!
This was so easy and delicious! My family had no idea that it wasn’t mashed potatoes ?they even mentioned how fluffy the potatoes were!!

★★★★★
This made me smile Andrea. I am so please hubby liked it even though he is anti cauliflower!
IS there a way to make it creamy without using Cashews – can I make it from almonds/???
★★★★★
Hi Toni – I do not think almonds would make a ‘cream.’ You could try nutpods original flavor, coconut milk or almond milk. If you eat dairy you could try heavy cream. Hope this helps and let me know what you try and if it worked!
Absolutely delicious! We loved it! Definitely will make again.

So glad you liked it Jessica!
This was amazing, as all your recipes are!! I think I say that everytime I comment! I was almost too lazy and too hungry to get the food processor out. I was tempted to eat it like it was before pureé because it was delicious, but changing that texture just takes it to another level!!! Loved this!!

Thanks so much for your very nice comment on my mashed cauliflower Jenn! I am so glad you liked it! So glad you got out your food processor. LOL!
I normally despise mashed cauliflower – I don’t know why, I love it riced, but mashed it makes me gag. This recipe is the exception. Give it another chance. It is so delicious. Not sure if it’s the homemade cashew cream or not but we really enjoyed the flavor. I even messed it up and added too much water to the cashews – it wasn’t a problem at all, still tased wonderful. I also didn’t have time to soak the cashews over night – I let them soak fro about 2 hours – seemed to work just fine. The cream came out blended perfectly. Definitely get this into your weeknight rotation.
