Step 1
Start by soaking the blanched almonds in warm water for at least 1 hour, then drain and rinse them.

Heat the mixture over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until it becomes warm but not boiling.

Sprinkle the gelatin over the warmed almond mixture and stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Step 6
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until it sets with a cottage cheese-like consistency.
Step 8
Once set, gently stir the mixture to break it up into curds, resembling traditional cottage cheese.
