- 1/4 cup grated alternative cheese (60 g)
- 1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream alternative (15 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (2.5 g)

Instructions
- Collect all necessary items. Insert a steamer basket into a pot; pour in enough water to stay just below the steamer’s base.

- In the meantime, warm up olive oil in a small pan over medium heat; sauté garlic until it becomes tender, approximately 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Move half of the cauliflower into a blender; secure the lid and puree at high speed.
- Gradually add the remaining cauliflower pieces, one by one, until a smooth texture is achieved. Incorporate the sautéed garlic, grated alternative cheese, reduced-fat cream alternative, salt, and black pepper into the mixture.
- Present and savor!
Notes
- Try adding more reduced-fat cream alternative for a creamier texture.
- Experiment with different alternative cheeses for varied flavors.
- Adjust salt and black pepper to taste; blend cauliflower thoroughly for smoothness.
