Dairy Free Cashew Ricotta Cheese

3 steps
Prep:5min
This vegan cashew ricotta cheese is perfect for those who are lactose intolerant but still looking to make Italian dishes like lasagna. Cashews make this cheese substitute still creamy with a neutral taste, and the nutritional yeast and salt help it to taste more like cheese. Each serving is about 1/4 cup (56 g)
