This was a hit last year so my daughter in law asked me to bring it again. Very easy and pretty WLS friendly.

I just used a little to dissolve the corn starch) 1 tbls corn starch 1/3 cup heavy cream (you can use skim milk or regular milk if you want but I love it with cream) 1 teaspoon sugar (I used Splenda) 3/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper (I used white pepper) 1/8 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp onion powder 1. divide a head of cauliflower into florets that are all roughly the same size. steam cauliflower peices over boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until tender. drain and toss in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. 2. when cauliflower has cooled, put them in a food processor along with 1/2 cup water. puree the cauliflower on high speed untill smooth, but with a few peices of small bits for texture. 3. pour all of puree into medium sauce pan. dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup of water and add the solution to the cauliflower. 4. add the cream, salt, white pepper, garlic powerd, and onion powder to the caulifflower and stir. set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stiring often for 5-10 minutes or until thick.
