By the time you crisp the bacon and boil the water for the cauliflower it's going to take lots longer than 45 minutes. Also, it doesn't hurt to use milk instead of heavy cream. You're just trying to thin the cheese mixture. Finally, I was short cauliflower and used some broccoli I had in the fridge. Didn't work out since it cooks faster than cauliflower so I had to scoop it out of the boiling water while the cauliflower continued to cook.
