Vegan Ricotta
**Ingredients (make 800 gr of Ricotta):**
– 300 gr Almonds, Bleached* or Ground Almond
– 280 gr Firm Tofu (pressed)
– 180 ml Soy or Almond Milk (unsweetened)
– 5 gr Nutritional Yeast
– 1/2 ts Salt
– 1/2 ts Garlic Powder
– 1/2 ts Onion Powder
– 1 pinch Pepper (ideally White)
– 1 tbs Lemon Juice (optional)
*If you have or you can only find those with skin follow this extra step: Bring to a boil some water, add the almonds and boil for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Gently press their skin between two fingers and this will be easily removed. Peel all the almonds and follow the rest of the recipe*
**Method:** Easiest thing you can make
Depending upon how powerful your blender is decide whether to grind the almonds alone first or all the ingredients together. Skip this step if you are using the ground almonds.
We want to achieve an uniform and slightly granuled texture.
Our ricotta is basically done. That’s right guys, it only needs for all the ingredients to be blended together.
Use as you wish in your favorite sweet or savory recipes or plain with a drizzle of olive oil 🙂
