BASIL TOFU RICOTTA (Vegan)
April 28, 2020 by Tami Kramer

A delightful whole food plant based version of a ricotta cheese that will knock your socks off! It is creamy, scrumptious and mimicks it’s dairy counterpart and will even fool the non plant based eaters in your life. It only takes a few minutes to make this recipe – easy peasy. I like easy. It is perfect for layering in lasagna, on top of your pizza, or on top of a baked potato.
