INGREDIENTS

 ½ tablespoon miso (optional)

 1 teaspoon garlic powder

 Salt and pepper to taste

  • Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until smooth.

NOTES

Helpful Tips

  • No food processor? No problem! Mash the tofu finely with a fork or potato masher, then mix in the other ingredients in a large bowl. This method creates a chunkier but equally delicious vegan ricotta.
  • For a grainier texture, pulse the ingredients instead of blending fully until you achieve the desired consistency.
  • Planning to use it in sweet recipes? Skip the miso, black pepper, and garlic powder. Reduce the salt as well for a more neutral flavor.

Storing

  • Store tofu ricotta in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze, portion it into individual containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
