This makes a great pizza! I have to say we only tried it because my husband can’t eat regular pizza anymore, and we needed a diabetic-friendly recipe. After trying this, we don’t miss regular crust! It’s quite a bit more work but the delicious results are worth it. 🙂
One hack we found useful was using our Breville Juice Fountain juicer instead of a food processor to create the “snow.” It extracted quite a lot of juice, although we still had to squeeze the cooked cauliflower “dough” to get a dry result. But if you have a juice extractor, it works quite well to create the snow (and thr juice mixes up pretty well with some beet, carrot and ginger!)
Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
Sara says
So glad you liked it Janet! Thanks for sharing your tip on using the juicer for it! Yes it is a bit more work than regular pizza, I call it a labor of love. 🙂
Lisa says
Hi, did you use grated parmesan cheese from a shaker or fresh shredded parmesan cheese? Thanks 🙂
Sara says
Hey Lisa, I used the grated kind from a shaker:)
Dina says
Loved the idea of cauliflower crust. Followed recipe to a tee but my crust stuck to the parchment paper and there was no rescuing the pizza 🙁
Sara says
Oh no, sorry to hear Dina! I’ve made this dozens of times and have never had it stick to the parchment paper. Parchment paper is made to be non-stick.
Crystal says
Mine also stuck had to thro the whole thing away! Couldn’t peal paper off
Sara says
What type did you use? I’ve never had this stick to parchment paper.
Sol says
What happens if I don’t have a microwave? Is there anything I can do to replace the use of it?
Sara says
You could add the cauliflower to a steam basket and place it in a sauce pan with a little bit of water at the bottom. Steam it for 5-7 minutes on high heat until cauliflower is soft.
Alma says
Thx Sara!!
Sara says
You are welcome:)
Alma says
OMG! This is FANTASTIC, Sara! I loved it! Just made it tonight & turned out Great! It did not stick to my parchment paper either…. I don’t feel guilty eating bread – Who would’ve thought cauliflower instead of original crust. I have to watch my carbs!! And it’s well worth the trouble!!! Thankyou, thank you once again!
Sara says
Awesome Alma, so glad you liked it! Yes, this is totally a guilt free meal!! 🙂
Debora says
I love t his recipe and have made it a few times now. My question is if you have ever made this ahead of time? Do you think it would keep for a day or two in the refrigeratory?
Sara says
Hey Debora, Awesome so glad you like it! I have not made this ahead of time, so unfortunately I can’t answer that. I may test this in the future, but if you end up testing it out first please let me know how it holds up!
Brittany says
We want to make this for dinner! Do you think you could use pre-riced cauliflower? We lost our food processor on our recent move and haven’t replaced it yet.
Sara says
Hey Brittany, I had no idea there was pre-riced cauliflower! I’m going to have to check this out:) I would like to think it would work the same way, you’ll have to let me know how it turns out!
Connie Albert says
Tried this recipe last night. Although a lot of work, it came out good.
Sara says
Glad you liked it Connie! Yes it’s a labor of love for sure:)
Cheri says
I use a table-top apple press to get all the water out, it comes with a “nut-milk” type bag so none of the cauliflower is lost. So fast and easy this way, I used to avoid making these types of cauliflower dishes because squeezing the water out was such a messy bother. Now it takes 10 seconds, and I just rinse the bag.
Sara says
Thanks for the great tip Cheri!
Paula Sheamer says
I’m on a diet that doesn’t allow for cheese. Have you ever made this without the cheese in it? If so, how did you compensate – or what would you suggest?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Sara says
Hi Paula, You could try using a vegan cheese, however I’m not sure if the results would be the same. If you do try this as a substitute please let us know how it is!
Megan Jordan says
Wondering if this crust comes out crispy enough to pick up like a piece of “real” pizza
Candice says
I’m interested in this as well…
Sara says
Hi Megan, You can pick the pieces up like a regular pizza slice. It won’t be the same as a crispy doughy crust, but it’s still delicious and much lower in carbs!
Erika says
I made this today and it came out great! Thanks for sharing!!
Sara says
So great to hear Erika! 🙂
Lori says
If you don’t have cheesecloth can you use kitchen towel?
Sara says
Hey Lori, Yes that would work too!
Samantha says
Approximately how many cups of riced cauliflower did you base the other ingredient measurements to? I think my head has made 2-3 times the amount yours did looking at the video.
Sara says
Hey Samantha, I’ve made this several times and each time I think my head of cauliflower is a different size. I used the same measurements and it always comes out the same. 🙂
Caitlin Monson says
Hey Sara! I’ve been looking everywhere for a good cauliflower pizza crust recipe and this one looks so easy! I can’t wait to try it! Was it hard to wring all the moisture out after cooking the cauliflower? That’s the only thing I’m a little nervous about.
Sara says
Hi Caitlin, I found it very easy to wring all the moisture out of the cauliflower. When you try this recipe be sure to let me know what you think!
Stephanie says
Love this recipe and use it as my base for garlic “breadsticks” or pizza crust. Wringing out the water is KEY! Also, for those that had the crust stick to the parchment, i wonder if your pizza stone or pan was preheated, I think that helps a lot!
Sara says
Thanks for the feedback Stephanie, so glad you liked it!
