ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower, rinsed
1 tablespoon softened cream cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon chicken base paste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons butter
directions
Bring a large pan of water to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into small florets. Place in the boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork. Drain well then spread the cauliflower out on paper toweling to dry.
Combine the cauliflower, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and black pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the workbowl as needed.
Transfer the cauliflower puree to a serving dish and garnish with chives and top with butter.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This recipe is AMAZING!! So creamy and rich yummy taste!!! I served it just as it says and did NOT add the butter at the end but it didn't need it. I threw everything in my blender including boulin cube and added some of the hot water that the cauliflower cooked in. I must admit though... I'm not a measurer so I just added water with a ladle. I saved this recipe and am thinking it's going to become a staple in my recipes!!! GOOD JOB!!!
