Vegan Ricotta

Vegan Ricotta

Everyday

Vegan ricotta is a dairy-free cheese alternative typically made from nuts (commonly cashews or almonds) or tofu, designed to mimic the texture and versatility of traditional ricotta cheese. This plant-based substitute achieves a similarly light, creamy texture and mild flavor that works well in both sweet and savory dishes. While lower in calcium than dairy ricotta, it often provides healthy plant-based fats and protein while being suitable for those following dairy-free, vegan, or lactose-free diets.
