❤️ Why You’ll Love Cashew Ricotta
Easy: This cashew ricotta is incredibly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients Vegan: This dairy-free ricotta alternative is plant-based and so delicious Protein-Packed: One of the best parts about this cashew ricotta is you get a healthy dose of protein and healthy fats from the cashews
🍲 Ingredients
Cashew Nuts – Cashews are rich in heart-healthy fatty acids and protein. They can help boost your immune system, are a great source of antioxidants, and have no cholesterol. They are also great for making creamy sauces or dips that are vegan-friendly Nutritional Yeast – One of my go-to ingredients in my pantry. Nutritional yeast is loaded with B vitamins, and iron. It can be used to make recipes have that cheesy flavor, while still keeping it plant-based
👩🍳 How to Make Cashew Ricotta
🪄 Tips and Tricks
I love nutritional yeast and recommend using it in so much, but if you’re baking with this ricotta you’ll want to complement it with something sweet as it’s more savory Garlic & onion powder are optional as it’s dependent on whether you want savory ricotta or sweeter I like blending mine a bit more to create a very whipped and smooth texture but it’s up to you and your preference
🗒 Variations
Pair this cashew ricotta with caramelized onions, honey, and thyme. The perfect mix of both savory and sweet. I use BeeMaid Honey because it’s a Canadian brand made with the help of Canadian beekeepers and bees and I think it’s important to know where your food is coming from Add your favorite jam on top of the ricotta for a creamy, and sweet breakfast toast. You’ll also want to omit the onion and garlic powder for this variation Sprinkle your favorite nut or seed on top, or layer veggies like cucumber or avocado
