I didn’t tell him it was all tofu until after, and he was speechless! 🙂 Besides, this is so damn creamy and delicious, even those who can eat regular ricotta won’t know the difference with this one.Ĭase in point? My husband! He doesn’t much like tofu but he ate this. However this is the perfect, I mean PERFECT vegan substitute which should come in handy at parties or any time you’ve got guests over who might be either vegan or lactose intolerant. If you’re not vegan or allergic to dairy products, chances are you won’t need to make vegan ricotta. Recently I used firm vegan ricotta for a far more spectacular recipe and you guys can find out all about it, when I share that recipe in a couple of days! 🙂 Check out that post on the blog now! I have also made the firm vegan ricotta version (with firm tofu only), which is also great on toast! It’s also great to stuff cannelloni. It would work just as well on pizza, as a dip, as a creamy salad dressing, whatever. I used this soft vegan ricotta to spread on toast and crackers, but it would also work really well for vegan lasagna! The extra creaminess would be ideal as a replacement for Bechamel sauce. So by using two types of tofu in this recipe (soft and firm), I make this vegan ricotta delightfully soft without compromising on consistency. Having said that, I personally prefer adding soft tofu instead of milk, just so that I avoid any off-putting liquid separation that could occur by adding milk. On the other hand, if you only have firm tofu and you want soft ricotta, you can add a plant-based milk to dilute your firm tofu and make soft ricotta. While this recipe is for soft ricotta, you could easily make it firm by using firm tofu only. So whatever this ricotta may be, you know it’s going to be creamy.

The cashews give a really awesome nutty texture plus an extra level of creaminess. Tofu gives the creaminess to the vegan ricotta. All you got to do is put everything in the food processor and blend it all together.
Also, it takes a lot less effort to make this vegan version.
This creamy vegan ricotta went perfectly with my breakfast toast (and my coffee), and it tasted just as good as ricotta made with milk. But honestly, you’d find it pretty hard to tell the difference with this vegan substitute. I use this recipe from Served from Scratch to make my regular ricotta from scratch and I LOVE it!). As it turns out, this dairy-free, vegan ricotta is every bit as delicious as the real deal! (As an aside, I still also love the dairy ricotta I make. I can honestly say this was one of those creations that I didn’t think I would like, didn’t think would work, but I was pleasantly surprised to be proven very very wrong.
