Clean the cauliflower head and trim off the green stalks.

Cut it in half and put one half away.

-
Peel and dice the garlic. Add the garlic to the cauliflower.

Microwave on high for about 4 minutes without covering the bowl or dish.

Mix the butter and cream mixture so that it's coating the cauliflower.

In a blender combine the cooked cauliflower with the cheese. It should give a fairly thick but pleasant mash.
Recipe Notes
Cooking times will vary depending on your Microwave. Mine is a 1000 Watt model so if yours is less powerful you might need to cook for longer.
Cauliflower shouldn't be overcooked, so if it's still a little crunchy when you're done that's okay.
