Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds soaked for 8-12 hrs, drained and peeled or blanched for a few seconds (Notes)
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic crushed (about ½ teaspoon)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in the food processor and process until creamy. Add more water for a wetter consistency.
- Place the nut mixture in a nut milk bag or strainer lined with gauze (or cheesecloth) and let the cream mixture drain into a bowl. Or, press it lightly without completely filtering all the liquid coming out.
- Put the nut cheese in a jar or shape it with your hands, then put it in the refrigerator for 8-12 h to firm or use immediately.
- Serve in your favorite dishes.
Notes
If you forget to soak the almonds, you can fast-forward to 30 min.
Add fresh herbs such as basil or rosemary, pitted olives and sun-dried tomatoes to create new flavors. Placed in an airtight container, Quick Almond Ricotta will keep for up to four or five days.
