Transfer your cauliflower florets quickly into the boiling water and keep it in the hot water for 1 to 2 mins. This process is known as blanching. This will help to maintain the texture of cauliflower.
Drain your cauliflower completely. now, You can just transfer your drained cauliflower immediately into the iced water to cool it down quickly(make sure there is no extra water). However, I am allowing my cauliflower to cool down naturally.
To prevent the cauliflower florets from clumping together, a single layer of pre-freezing is recommended. This way the florets will stay loose, so it will be easy to take out a small amount of cauliflower for a recipe.
After pre-freezing, Transfer the florets into a freezer friendly ziplock bags and deep freeze it. Use it as required.
