Vegan Ricotta Cheese
• Blend less for a more textured ricotta consistency. • Chilling helps flavors develop and slightly thickens the mixture. • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Health Benefits: Cashews provide healthy unsaturated fats, magnesium, and plant-based nutrients that support satiety and cardiovascular health. Nutritional yeast adds savory flavor along with B vitamins, making this a nutrient-dense plant-based alternative to traditional ricotta cheese.
