Almond Ricotta (Vegan)
This almond ricotta is creamy, bright from lemon, flavored with fresh garlic and black pepper, and is completely plant-based!
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds, soaked in boiling water for at least an hour, skinned (this has to be done by hand)
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground
- 1/2 lemon, juiced 1
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, optional
Instructions
- Directions: Combine all the ingredients together in a high speed blender. If you have a high speed blender with a tamper, that's preferred, as the mixture is quite thick and needs to be pushed around towards the blade. If you don't have a tamper, then a food processor would work, but it won't be as smooth.
Notes
If you're measuring your food categories, I just count this towards my protein/fat as it pertains to nuts.
