Almond Ricotta on Toasted Bread
June 27, 2024
If you love ricotta, you will love this vegan version of ricotta. While I am not a fan of faux cheeses, I loved this particular snack that my Nonna used to make after school. So here is my version.
Ingredient List:
- Makes 5-6 servings
- 2 cups soaked slivered almonds (soak for at least 1 hour)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons white miso
- 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
Step By Step Instructions:
Place almonds and water in a blender or food processor and puree until chunky smooth. Stir in miso and lemon juice and puree until blended well. Turn into a bowl and use to stuff shells or in other pasta dishes.
Cook’s Tip: you can eliminate the miso and garlic and make this a sweet ricotta with a bit of rice syrup and vanilla and use in desserts.
