Macadamia Nut Ricotta Cheese

Macadamia nuts, like cashews, help to create a creamy, buttery texture. This recipe offers the perfect opportunity to experiment. Its subtle flavor, and airy texture means it pairs well with a number of different foods. Try it with berry compotes, on top of little crostinis, and as a substitute in your favorite pizza recipe. It also goes beautifully with tomatoes and basil.
