Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 2 cups Filtered water (for soaking)
- 0.25 cup Filtered water (for blending)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with 2 cups of filtered water. Allow them to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This softens the cashews and makes them easier to blend.
Step 2
After soaking, drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly under running water.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, 1/4 cup of filtered water, lemon juice, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, and apple cider vinegar.
Step 4
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on the strength of your blender.
Step 5
Taste the whipped ricotta and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or nutritional yeast to suit your preference.
Step 6
Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving dish. It can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Step 7
Serve the Paleo Whipped Ricotta as a dip with fresh vegetables, as a spread on paleo-friendly crackers, or as a topping for roasted vegetables or salads.
