Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Full-fat coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them fully with hot water. Let them soak for 2-4 hours or until softened. Alternatively, for a quicker method, soak them in boiled water for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the cashews and transfer them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 3
Add the coconut cream, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and water into the blender with the cashews.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.
Step 5
Once the mixture is fully blended and free of any lumps, add the olive oil and blend again briefly until just incorporated.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or salt based on your preferences.
Step 7
Transfer the whipped ricotta to a bowl and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Step 8
Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables or use it as a topping for roasted veggies, grilled meats, or lettuce wraps to keep it Whole30-compliant.
