Bring a large pot or Dutch oven of water to a boil over high heat.

Add the cauliflower florets to the water and cook for 10 minutes or until it is fork-tender.

Drain the cauliflower well and then turn it out onto paper towels to dry completely.

In the same pot, add the cream cheese, butter, and garlic. Saute the garlic until very fragrant, softened, but not browned.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the cauliflower, cream cheese, and garlic mixture, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Pulse until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl.

Stir in the sour cream and sprinkle the top of the cauliflower with chives.

Serve immediately.
