Two-Ingredient Dairy-Free Ricotta

Ingredients

• 1 litre unsweetened soya milk 
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 
• salt and pepper 

To serve (optional) 

• olive oil 
• chopped fresh herbs 
• chilli flakes 
• crackers or oat cakes 
• crudités 

Method

Pour the soya milk into a saucepan and gently heat it, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Turn the heat off just as it starts to simmer, before it boils.   

Remove the saucepan from the heat and very gently stir in the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Leave it to sit for 15 minutes while the milk curdles and separates.  

Place a clean muslin cloth or kitchen towel over a sieve set above a bowl, then carefully pour or ladle in the mixture. 

Leave to drain for a few minutes and gently press down with the back of a spoon then transfer to a bowl and season with plenty of salt and pepper.  

Transfer back into the sieve and leave to strain and ‘set’ for 15 minutes.   

Turn out onto a plate or board, drizzle with some olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs and/or some chilli flakes and serve with crackers and crudités.
