This Fresh Almond Ricotta by Chay Wike is thick and creamy, and it comes together quite easily. It’s very versatile, a blank canvas that you can take in sweet or savory directions, making it perfect for pizza, pasta, dessert, and more! Make it as is, spread it on toast, or serve it on its own with fruit compote for a healthy breakfast. You can put it in lasagna, drop a dollop into your spaghetti, or blend it with fresh herbs. If you don’t eat dairy, and you’re looking for something to scratch that itch, look no further.

Holy chocolate deliciousness! I had to flip a coin on whether this recipe should appear in this chapter or in the sweets chapter, as these are so good they could easily pass as dessert.

I have been making these for years on retreats and for clients, and these Blender Dark Chocolate Donuts by Bailey Ruskus are the favorite every single time.
