* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 tsp black pepper
### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Cauliflower:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until they are tender-crisp. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to cook in the oven. Drain the cauliflower well and set it aside.
2. **Make the Cheese Sauce:** In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the softened cream cheese and whisk until it’s smooth and creamy. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar, and grated Parmesan. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.
3. **Season the Sauce:** Season the cheese sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. **Combine and Bake:** Add the cooked cauliflower to the cheese sauce and stir gently to coat all the florets. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
5. **Serve and Enjoy:** Let the mac and cheese cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious and comforting low-carb meal!
