Vegan Ricotta Cheese

Omar Parker

Report

This nut-free, dairy-free Vegan Ricotta Cheese is wonderfully delicious, so easy to make and so healthy. It makes a great replacement for dairy ricotta and pairs well with so many recipes calling for traditional ricotta. Once you try this, you’ll never go back to the dairy version.
