Ingredients

1 pound brussels sprouts
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, plus more to taste
Pinch freshly grated or ground nutmeg

Steps:

Steam the brussels sprouts until tender but not soft, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
When the sprouts are just cool enough to handle, slice in half and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
Heat the cream until almost boiling and add to the sprouts with the butter. Process until smooth. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, blend well and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve warm.
