Preparation

  1. In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower, salt and pepper; cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tops of florets are soft.
  2. Add water; heat to simmering over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower stems are very tender. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in YQ; blend with potato masher or electric mixer on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy and smooth.

Recipe Tips

  • To save some time, use 3 (10-oz) bags of cauliflower florets instead of using heads of cauliflower.
  • Mashed cauliflower will never be as smooth as mashed potatoes, so don’t fret if you still have a few lumps.
  • Also look for YQ by Yoplait™ Plain in the larger 26 oz container.
