This “ricotta” fooled even my most skeptical taste testers. It’s great for a filler in other recipes, or can be eaten plain on crackers! Try it in the Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Shells recipe.. it’s my favorite.

I tried this recipe and added some lemon juice. It was amazing!! My first time ever making a plant based cheese, it was easy and delicious. Will use this recipe for future use 10/10
