Used the pressure cooker to cook the cauli, drained for 20 min in colander but still pressed it gently to get as much water out as possible without forcing the cauli through the holes. Didn't use a food processor, a fork and warming up the cream cheese in the microwave is all that is needed. Didn't need or use the butter, full of flavor without it. Didn't add any salt, there is lots in the cheese. Microwaved just before serving to reheat.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-01-31","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"dham"},"reviewBody":"I made this last night and it was delicious.

I read this recipe and thought this would also make a great soup. Snowed in I cooked a much needed to be used Rutabaga in the Express Cooker. Added the frozen Cauliflower, Veggie broth and the cheeses. Used my immersion blender and made a great tasting soup on 02\/10. THEN! I made the mashed cauliflower as a side to the Prime Rib dinner for Valentines Day. It was a great big hit with my husband. Topped off with chives, neither of us missed the potato. It's a great recipe and a keeper. This is the 3rd or 4th recipe I have tried of Colleen's and they have always been excellent. Will continue to look for her recipes from now on.
