Keto Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Hey , what's up y'all ?

It's Darius from Darius Cooks dot TV .

And listen , I am on this keto kick and uh I know what you've been waiting for .

So I'm gonna deliver .

It is going to be the cauliflower mac and cheese .

Ok ?

You gotta see this .

It's so simple .

Um But it's gonna be easy and it's gonna be delicious .

So let's go ahead and get started .

First of all , I got a whole head of cauliflower that I've already basically cut up into uh floret .

So you can actually see that this is all washed and all ready to go .

I've got some water that's starting to boil .

I wanna salt it pretty good so we can get some flavor in .

All right .

And then I'm gonna go ahead and just drop in this cauliflower .

So while the cauliflower is working out , check me out , I've got some cheeses here because you can't have a uh mac and cheese without cheese on .

You could totally use the cheese that's already shredded .

But I kind of think that when you shred it yourself , you're gonna get a much better finished product .

So let's talk about what we have .

Ok .

So I have a block of , of cheddar cheese .

A little wheel of the most delectable smoked you've ever seen in your entire life for that sort of strings that you have to have mozzarella .

And then for a little personality , we've got a little bit of pepper jack cheese .

So I'm just gonna get to shredding all these cheeses and then get them ready for the pack and change .

All right .

So the cauliflower has been cooking , it's ready to go ahead and turn it off .

Right .

So let's make this amazing cheese sauce that we're gonna mix the cauliflower and then get off in the oven .

It's gonna start with , you guessed it a little bit of butter , some heavy cream , right .

We need a few more things to make this taste really good .

And so I've got some Mars Cappone cheese if you can't find Mars Cappone , which is really available at most grocery stores .

So if you can find it , use it if not cream cheese works as well .

But I'm gonna use the scarpone cheese because it's really , really good .

And I'm gonna start it out now .

That way it can melt into the sauce before I add the other cheese .

I'm gonna go ahead and season this up .

So I've got a little bit of garlic powder and onion salt and then we're gonna throw in some black pepper a little stir .

So the butter and the scarpone is melting up really nicely nice .

And gentle .

Why don't we go ahead and let's add in all these cheeses that we've got mixed up .

So we've got the mozzarella , we've got the cheddar , the Pepper Jack and uh we got the smoked running .

All right .

So this is the cheese sauce right here .

Ready to go .

So , what I wanna do is I wanna add in some sour cream .

Keeps everything nice and moist when it bakes off in the oven .

I love that .

I have a little bit of a thickener that's approved for Keto Hinch of Xanthan Gum in here .

So we're gonna go in here and store that together , then go the cauliflower .

Right and we'll get that all mixed together .

And then before we put it into the casserole dish , I've got a little bit more of the cheese that I wanna just mix in and mix throughout .

All right , right into here .

The schools , look at that , move it out a little bit , make it look pretty .

It smells divine and then you guessed it , we're gonna top it with a little bit more of that shredded cheese mixture that we made up that way .

It browns up really nicely .

Oven is preheated 350 degrees .

This is gonna go off and bake until it's bubbly brown and delicious .

This cauliflower mac and cheese has been in the oven .

It is and golden brown .

Let me show you what we have .

Oh , look at that .

The only thing this needs is a little bit of parsley right on top just to make it look really pretty .

Let's go in and grab some of the mac and cheese out of here .

Oh .

Oh , all right .

Gonna go in for a taste .

I mean , look at that .

I mean , how bad could this be ?

Ok , Keto Qualified Mac and cheese .

Happy .

If you need a mac and cheese fix without the pasta .

This has to be it .

First of all , the mix of cheeses is astounding the creaminess that you get .

And this whole plate , I mean , come on now , uh , um , that Xanthe Gun has really picking this up quite nicely .

There's a crust on top .

I can't stop eating it .

I mean , it is that good .

You gotta try it , the recipe , you know what's gonna be on my website .
