Whipped ‘Ricotta’ On Toast

Print
Prep Time 10 mins
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 x 400 g block of firm tofu, drained
  • 2 tsp maple syrup, plus extra for topping
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, see notes
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • salt + pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 large slices of toast

Method

  • Add the tofu, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla extract, a small pinch of salt and 3 tbsp of water to a high-speed blender. Next add the juice and zest from half of the lemon (save the remaining lemon half for later), then blend until smooth.
  • Add more water and keep blending until the mixture resembles a thick and silky-smooth consistency. Then give it a taste and adjust the flavour to your liking i.e. add more maple syrup if you like it extra sweet or more lemon zest if you like it more zesty.
  • Spoon the tofu ricotta on top of the toast or - if you want something a bit more fancy - add the tofu ricotta to a piping bag and pipe it over the toast. We love to top with a small drizzle of maple syrup, extra lemon zest from the remaining lemon half and a small pinch of pepper. Store leftovers in an airt-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
