One of the most popular salads I make for events features a whipped ricotta. If you have never tried whipped ricotta, you are seriously missing out! But anyways, one event I had clients who wanted the menu completely dairy free and still wanted my popular salad, which led me to creating this dairy free / vegan ricotta! It was so good, and SO similar to the real thing I had to share it here.

What to serve it with:

  • Salads – I love putting this underneath salads, it is creamy, sweet and delicious.
  • Lasagna – this is the perfect dairy free substitute for cheese in lasagna.
  • Stuffed ravioli – put this in the center of ravioli if you want a great dairy free, but still super creamy option.
  • Spread on toast – this is a great base on a fancy toast, pair with fruit and balsamic, or sliced tomatoes!
  • In a sandwich or wrap
  • Top it on a crostini – one crostini I serve for my events is a whipped ricotta and balsamic tomato basil crostini that is to die for.
  • Place it is smoothies – I know this sounds weird, but it is tangy, sweet and delicious and super high protein from the tofu.
