Remove most of the **cinnamon sticks**, leaving a few small pieces. + 3. Blend the soaked mixture in two batches until very smooth, about 3–4 minutes per batch. + 4. Pour through a fine‑mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Repeat with the remaining batch. + 5.

Waterlogged cauliflower makes a loose mash. After cooking, let the florets steam‑dry and drive off moisture for a fluffier, creamier texture.

+ + + + + 1. Trim and cut the **cauliflower** into medium florets. + 2. Cook until very tender: steam 10–12 minutes (preferred) or boil 8–10 minutes. The florets should crush easily with tongs. + 3. Drain thoroughly in a colander and let steam‑dry 3–5 minutes. For extra dryness, return to the empty pot over low heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring. + 4. In a small pan, melt **butter** and gently cook the **garlic** 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown). Skip if using garlic powder. + 5. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, combine the hot **cauliflower**, melted **butter/garlic**, **cream cheese** (or sour cream/yogurt), and half of the **milk/cream**. Blend until smooth and silky, scraping as needed. + 6. Add **Parmesan** (if using), **salt**, and **pepper**. Pulse to combine. Adjust thickness with more warm **milk/cream**. Taste and season. + 7. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with **chives/parsley**, and serve hot. + + +

For ultra‑smooth mash, strain through a fine sieve. For dairy‑free, use olive oil and unsweetened almond milk. Add‑ins: roasted garlic, horseradish, or a spoon of sour cream for tang.
