    Delicious! I used Laughing Cow garlic & herb cheese instead of cream cheese and still got the creaminess. I'll definitely be making this again. - 9/8/10

    This was good but a little to "mushy" for me. - 6/8/10

    Just made this and it is delicious! So creamy and rich. Great way to get those veggies in! I did the cauliflower in my Instant Pot. Placed the florets in a steamer insert for 3 minutes, cooked on high pressure, manual release. - 1/3/19

    Husband hates cauliflower, but he loved this! We are trying to eat healthier but his snobby palate makes it difficult...thanks for this one! - 5/6/13

    Love this! Prefer to mash rather than use the food processor - 4/22/13
  • EXCELDREAM
    Very tasty, but I found neither the blender or food processor were adequate. I think mashing and mixing like potatoes would probably be better. I'll definitely be making it again. - 4/1/13

    This is amazing! I used reduced fat garden vegetable flavor cream cheese, and used a potato masher and left the cauliflower chunky. The lauching cow cheese sounds good, will try that next time! - 11/3/12

    Really disliked it. Actually, this is the first SparkRecipe I have been dissatisfied with. My taste buds must be different from the other raters. This tasted neither like cauliflower nor mashed potatoes. :( - 10/17/12

    I've tried many cauliflower recipes and this is the best I've found! - 3/30/12

    Very good. Only change next time would be to use Velveeta rather than shredded for more smoothness. - 3/11/12

    cant wait to try it - 2/23/12
  • ASHORY
    AHHHHH...MAZING! This was so good I almost felt like I shouldn't have been eating it!I did add the Garlic as my husband and I LOVE Garlic but would be super tasty without it. It was a little mushy next time will dry with paper towel before blending. I would eat this as a meal it's THAT good! - 1/6/12

    WOW!!! I am eternally grateful to you for turning me and my son in to cauliflower lovers. This is the first mashed cauliflower recipe that I have ever had that actually tastes like mashed potatoes and nothing like cauliflower!! You're a life saver! - 4/6/11

  • AITUTAKI28
    My duaghter and I love this. I used only 1/4 cup of reduced fat cheddar cheese to save some calories and it was still delicious. I also omitted the paprika because I wasnt sure my daughter would like it. Very good! - 3/6/10
  • HOLMQUISTM
    Thanks for this recipe! My husband and I (both cauliflower haters) loved this. I knew I would but he wasn't sure. Then he told me he would eat this instead of mashed potatoes anytime. I used a 16oz size bag of frozen cauliflower but kept all other ingredients the same. - 1/31/10
