Instructions
Step 1
Blanch almonds for 1 minute, then chill in ice-cold water. Remove the skins. (not necessary if you use blanched or slivered almonds)
Step 2
Soak almonds for 20 minutes in hot water or for at least 2 hours.
Step 3
Blend soaked almonds, salt and water until smooth.
Step 4
Using a cheese cloth, or nut bag, squeeze out the almond milk. You can use the remaining almond pulp to make cookies or anything that requires almond flour.
Step 5
Bring the almond milk to a slight simmer (do not boil!), let it simmer stirring constantly for 5-10 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the pot from the heat, then very carefully stir in the lemon juice. Let it chill for 2 hours until the curdles have formed.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the curdles to a cheese cloth to strain off the “whey”. Let it sit with a weight on top for about 1 hour or until most of the liquid has come out.
Step 8
Optionally transfer the ricotta to a cheese mold, press down and let it sit in the fridge to firm up for 1 hour or overnight.
Step 9
Serve on a freshly baked piece of bread! Or use however you would use normal ricotta.
