Mock Macaroni & Cheese

(This is a hybrid of two low carb mac & cheese recipes... the cheese sauce from one that used cauliflower for the "mac" and the tofu idea from another.)

Pam (or something to grease the baking pan)
1 cup heavy cream
2 oz. cream cheese
1-1/2 t. dijon mustard
1-1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 t. black pepper
1/4 t. garlic powder

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray 8x8 baking pan with Pam.

Bring cream to a simmer and whisk in cream cheese and mustard until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder and whisk until cheese just melts - about 1-2 min. Remove from heat, pour over tofu and stir to combine. Top with remaining cheese and bake until bubbly and brown (~15 min).
