This vegan macadamia nut ricotta is a versatile plant-based staple that perfectly captures the creamy, slightly granular texture of traditional Italian dairy. By blending buttery macadamia nuts with a hint of lemon juice and sea salt, you create a rich and savoury spread that works beautifully in both cooked dishes and fresh appetisers. It is an excellent dairy-free alternative for those seeking a sophisticated flavour profile without the need for complicated ingredients or lengthy fermentation processes.
As a nutritious vegan recipe, this nut-based cheese is packed with healthy fats and provides a satisfying mouthfeel to any meal. Use it as a dollop on top of seasonal roasted vegetables, layer it into a plant-based lasagne, or simply spread it over toasted sourdough with a drizzle of olive oil. You can easily customise the flavour by folding in fresh Mediterranean herbs or a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle, earthy heat.

1 teaspoon kosher salt
Juice from 1/2 medium lemon (about 1 tablespoon )

How to make Macadamia Nut "Ricotta"
In a food processor or a high powered blender, purée the ingredients together until smooth.
If necessary, scrape down the sides with a spatula and/or add a bit more water. The resulting texture should resemble—you guessed it!—ricotta cheese.
Amplify the colour and flavour by mixing in 1/4 teaspoons of smoked paprika. Or add minced sundried tomatoes and fresh basil.
