How to Make It

1. Step
Fill the bottom of a double boiler halfway with water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Step
Cut the cauliflower into florets.
3. Step
Add the cauliflower to the steamer basket. Place over the boiling water, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
4. Step
Transfer the cauliflower to a blender. Add the coconut milk and blend until smooth. Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and nutmeg, if using, and blend until incorporated (alternatively, transfer the cauliflower to a medium pot with the remaining ingredients and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth). Season with more salt to taste.

Serve immediately, or transfer to a medium pot, cover, and keep warm until ready to serve, re-warming over medium-low heat if needed. Garnish with a pinch of nutmeg before serving, if desired.
6. Step
Enjoy!
