Vegan Ricotta Cheese (Chickpea Ricotta!)
Report
An easy vegan ricotta made with chickpeas and almond flour (with no tofu and no cashews)! It's quick to make, healthy, and oil-free.

Ingredients
- 15 oz. chickpeas rinsed and drained, canned
- 1/3 cup almond flour super-fine
- 3 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice fresh
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup water more/less, or aquafaba
- Optional: fresh basil, dried basil, Italian seasonings
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend. I start with about 3 Tbsp. water (or aquafaba), then add more 1 Tbsp. at a time to achieve desired consistency. It should be creamy, but very thick. You'll need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times between blending.
- Taste and adjust flavors if needed. (More salt, nutritional yeast, lemon, herbs, etc.)
- Enjoy immediately or refrigerate to let flavors combine further.
Notes
- My favorite variation: Adding roasted garlic and fresh basil! (Instead of the garlic powder, you can substitute roasted garlic or a fresh garlic clove.)
- Almond flour: Either natural or blanched works great. Natural almond flour will result in a darker color as shown in the photos above.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 1.5 cups ricotta.
