Vegan Creamy Ricotta

By , On , In Snacks, Raw, Recipes, All Recipes

On top of socca pizza or tossed with zucchini noodles, this creamy non-dairy ricotta is a beautiful thing. Just saying.

I never like to see the leftover pulp from making home made nut milk go to waste so I keep coming up with different ways to repurpose anything that gets left behind. In this particular recipe I used a mixture (1:1 ratio) of almond and cashew pulp. Feel free to experiment with using different nuts (Macadamia and Brazil nuts would make for a really nice option).

Next time you are making your nut milk, remember to save the pulp and give this delicious vegan ricotta recipe a try.
