I love making all sorts of creamy pasta, like my Blomkålspasta, Vegansk krämig svamppasta, eller Pastasås med dolda grönsaker. But to achieve a real creamy texture, you have to use vegan ricotta. And making vegan ricotta is much easier than you think!

This recipe uses just a few basic ingredients and can be turned into ricotta in just about 5 minutes with a blender!

Instruktioner

• Place all the ingredients into a food processor: slivered almonds, lemon juice, water, almond milk, and salt.
• Blend until almost smooth. You will have to stop the blender, scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat until all ingredients are evenly combined. It can be difficult to blend or too thick, so you can add extra water, up to 5 tablespoons. You want to form a thick, fluffy mixture with almost no bites of almonds, just a grainy texture as regular ricotta. Blend between each addition and stop when it reaches a fluffy and creamy, slightly grainy texture. The whole process of blending and scraping the bowl takes about 2-4 minutes.
• Taste and adjust by adding some of the recommended flavorings. Add more nutritional yeast to enhance the cheese flavor, more salt for savory cheese, and more lemon for tangy ricotta.

Ingredienser och ersättningar

• Skivade mandlar – It means thin pieces of blanched almonds with no almonds skin and golden-white color. They don’t contain the almond skin, and they are small, so you can easily blend them into a creamy, cheesy texture without pre-soaking. Do not use hela mandlar with or without skin. They are too hard to break into a creamy cheese without soaking them or sliced almonds with skin if you want to use sliced almonds, make sure they are blanched. You will also need to watch out for the blending time! They turn really fast into a creamy paste, and you will lose some grainy texture.
• Vatten - tap filtered water, no need to use hot water.
• Osötad mandelmjölk – I found that the best vegan ricotta is made from a combination of water and unsweetened almond milk. The touch of almond milk adds the light sweet taste that mimics the classic ricotta cheese even more!
• Citron juice – You can use fresh or bottled lemon juice. Lime juice can also be used.
• Näringsjäst – For a light cheesy flavor, but you can omit this ingredient as ricotta is mild in flavor, and you don’t expect a strong cheese flavor. Nutritional Yeast is a vegan-friendly ingredient.

How To Make Vegan Ricotta

There are many ways to make vegan ricotta recipes, including nut-free tofu ricotta cheese or cashew ricotta cheese. Here I am sharing an almond ricotta cheese recipe that tastes like the real thing.

I highly recommend using a high-speed blender rather than a food processor to make vegan cheese from nuts. In fact, nuts are strong and hard to break and turn into a creamy texture. As a result, the tall and narrow jug of a blender is much more powerful, keeping the nuts close to the blade all the time, turning them into cheese in less than 3 minutes. A food processor has a wide bowl and a less powerful blade. It makes it very difficult to get the creamy, fluffy ricotta texture you see here using a food processor.

This is not a complicated recipe, but you must be patient and repeat the same steps a few times to achieve the right ricotta texture.

1. First, add the ingredients below into the blender.
2. Blend all the ingredients for 30 seconds, stop the blender, scrape down the sides of the jug with a silicone spatula and repeat!
3. You will have to repeat these steps 3-5 times until it forms a fluffy, creamy ricotta cheese with a grainy texture.
4. I usually start the recipe using 3/4 cup of liquid – 1/2 cup of water and 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Then, I add more water, up to 1/4 cup of extra water, to achieve fluffy, creamy ricotta. But again, this is up to you! If you want thicker ricotta with more texture like in the picture below, don’t add more water.

Smaksättningsalternativ

You can play with this dairy-free ricotta recipe and create a range of different flavors by adding some of the ingredients below to the end product.

• Färska hackade örter – Add up to 1/3 cup of basil, cilantro, or dill.
• Fresh Chopped Garlic – 1 or 2 garlic cloves finely crushed.
• Näringsjäst – The original recipe uses some, but you can enhance the cheesy flavor of this ricotta by adding 1-2 extra teaspoons. Nutritional yeast is a great source of plant-based iron.
• Peppar – Add 1 teaspoon of crushed pepper or chili flakes to make it spicy.
