Vegan Ricotta Cheese (nut-free)
Use this cheese every time you need a batch of ricotta in a recipe! If it's a sweet recipe then leave out the garlic and black pepper. It makes a great sandwich filling or spread it on rice cakes, bagels and crackers. Also good for kid's lunchboxes especially if nuts aren't allowed in school!
