Ingredients
- 1 extra firm tofu (14oz) pressed
- 3 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoon oat milk unsweetened
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch Dill
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Press the Tofu: Wrap the block of extra firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and press it for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Blend the Ingredients: Crumble the pressed tofu into a food processor. Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, oat milk, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt.
- Process: Pulse the mixture until it reaches a creamy consistency, scraping down the sides as needed. Add fresh herbs if desired, and pulse a few more times to incorporate.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed—add more salt, lemon juice, or herbs to suit your taste.
- Serve or Store: Transfer the tofu ricotta to a container for serving or storage.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Drizzle a little olive oil on top or cover with plastic wrap to keep it fresh.
- Main Tip: Use extra firm tofu and press it well to achieve the best creamy texture for your dairy-free ricotta.
