03 -
Transfer drained cauliflower to a food processor or blender. Add coconut milk, butter, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder.
04 -

# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you're short on time, substitute the same weight of cauliflower rice instead of fresh cauliflower florets for quicker cooking.
02 -
Steaming the cauliflower rather than boiling helps retain more nutrients while achieving the desired tender texture.
03 -
Frozen florets can be used but may result in a less desirable final texture compared to fresh cauliflower.
