If using frozen riced cauliflower, use instructions on the bag to steam in the microwave.
Pour cooked cauliflower into mixing bowl. There may be excess steam water in the bag, which may make your mash watery. Try to pour in the cooked cauliflower with a spoon and dispose of excess steam water.
Add butter, and your creamy dairy (like cream cheese, grated parmesan, or plain greek yogurt) and spices like salt, pepper, garlic powder (optional), non-salt seasoning blend (optional)
Using the back of a big spoon, an immersion blender, or hand blender, mash together the ingredients.
Microwave for an additional 30-60 seconds to fully melt cheeses with your mash.
