Equipment

Food processor or box grater
Medium saucepan
Stirring Spoon
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower approximately 1 lb / 450 g, riced
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, keto-friendly sweetener, a dollop of whipped cream

Instructions

Rice the cauliflower by pulsing florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, you can use a box grater to achieve the same texture.
In a medium saucepan, combine the riced cauliflower, almond milk, heavy cream, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired porridge consistency.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, sweetener, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon according to preference. If the porridge is too thick, add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon and optional toppings such as chopped nuts or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

This porridge can be easily modified to suit your taste preferences or to add variety. Try incorporating different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist. For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite keto-friendly protein powder. Remember to adjust the net carbs accordingly when adding additional toppings or ingredients.
