Tips for making Buffalo Cauliflower Dip:
- Make sure that you cut up the cauliflower into 1-2 inch pieces. If you leave the cauliflower whole it will take MUCH longer to fully cook!
- Experiment with different cheeses and hot sauces. I think think this would be awesome with pepper jack or blue cheese! Go crazy and add in whatever you like!
- Don’t tell anyone this is made with cauliflower…..seriously…you will leave your guests wondering what the heck this is and what makes it so amazingly delicious!
- Cut head of cauliflower into 1 or 2 inch pieces
- Place cauliflower pieces into an insert pot- I used my smaller pot in pot insert that I use for meatloaf
- Coat cauliflower with olive oil, salt and pepper
- Pour 1 cup of water into pot
- Place insert onto trivet or onto silicone sling and place into pot
- Close the lid and move valve to “seal” position
- Cook on manual high pressure for 6 minutes
- When timer beeps, quick release pressure
- Open lid
- Cauliflower should be soft enough to mash with a potato masher
- Mash the cauliflower with a potato masher- I found that the metal version works better than the plastic version for this
- Once cauliflower is “mashed” (it won’t be completely mashed but will be broken up into much smaller pieces) mix in the cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheese, sour cream and hot sauce. Continue to “mash” until all ingredients are combined evenly
- Top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheese
- You can leave as is and allow to melt on its own or…
- You can place pan in the broiler and brown on the top to add additional melted cheesy goodness
- Serve with your favorite dippers…..celery, pita chips, tortilla chips or carrots! Enjoy!
