Macadamia Nut "Ricotta"

Directions

1. 1
   In a food processor or a high powered blender, puree the ingredients together until smooth.
2. 2
   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.
3. 3
   Amplify the color and flavor by mixing in 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Or add minced sundried tomatoes and fresh basil.
