Notes
- †Coconut cream is the thick white layer from the top of cans of full-fat coconut milk (of at least 18% fat) that have been refrigerated overnight. The amount of coconut fat separation can vary vastly from brand to brand. If there isn’t much coconut fat in your can, consider trying again with a different brand.
Storage
- The vegan whipped ricotta and cooked berries can be made in advance. Store separately in the fridge in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
- The assembled toasts are best enjoyed immediately.

Discussion & Rating
Fantastic recipe! I spruced it up a little more by adding about 1/8 a cup of caramelized onions, 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract, and a teaspoon of coffee liqueur. I would have added Burbon, but the liqueur was all I had on hand. Super tasty and received so many compliments!
love - Love - LOVE
Full disclosure: I haven't actually made this yet. But I know I will and I know I will love it. I'm going to make it as a fruit dip for my kiddos (6 and 3 years old) just to increase their tofu intake and have more filling snacks available.
I cannot wait!
Thank you Sadia for all the foodness
This was very good! I couldn’t find any firm tofu so used an extra firm I knew to be on the softer side and used my Vitamix instead of food processor. I got a great creamy texture. Such a simple yet brunch-worthy recipe.
It has a very ricotta-y texture. I have a basic Hamilton Beach food processor. So maybe it gets smoother with more high-powered processors. The tofu-y taste is quite hard to mask, even with extra vanilla and cinnamon powder. Mine turned out on the thinner side. I did use the thick part of coconut cream. However, my yoghurt wasn't super thick. For stewed berries, I used frozen wild blueberries and frozen cherries. I will be enjoying this with porota / paratha. 🙂
Absolutely a favorite now.
Love the tofu ricotta for toast-just had it on toast with blueberries.
I so wanted to love this recipe. Perhaps it was my local organic firm tofu, because no matter how much I blended it, and added more yoghurt, juice, maple syrup, it remained grainy. So, it ended up being more a yoghurt consistency that, with the extra maple syrup and lemon, actually tasted pretty good. But was more suited for a bowl with berries on top. And still the grainy texture.
This is slowly becoming my weekend brunch item, this recipe is just perfect!
Perfect!
So yummy!
I made a variation of this, WOW, its absolutely delicious. Its so easy and just so flavorful!
Delicious and decadent! A few things could have gone better, and definitely watch the video! The coconut cream I used was a purchased cream, and it was not as solid as the cream at the top of coconut milk. I couldn't find vegan Greek style yogurt, so I tried straining cashew yogurt. It didn't work. And although the recipe doesn't say to press the tofu, the video does. I made the recipe before watching the video. 🤷 All this made for a looser version, but oh the flavor! It is perfect! Creamy, lemony (I probably overdid the zest, but I am obsessed with it), and just sweet enough. Honestly, this could be spooned into puff pastry or eaten like pot de creme. Yum!!!!
Anyone know how long it keeps?
Did not find any flavor to it, I was looking foward for a more decadent flavor but for me it did not have any flavor it was very bland, I was disappionted because I was looking for that cheescake flavor and didn't find it :( Is there anything thay you recomend for me to fix it like give it a more sweet flavor or can I use it in my smoothies just so I don't have to throw away since I used a 14oz block of tofu hehe.
It was okay though it does taste better with the berries. Thanks.
This has become my go-to breakfast. It’s easy to double the recipe and quickly make it on the mornings. It’s delicious! 🍓🫐
You need this in your life. I serve it on pancakes, topped with homemade raspberry-chia jam. Omg!✨
I had this topped with some fresh black currents this morning (highly recommend!). Will definitely be a regular breakfast from now on!
It’s surprisingly really good for how simple it is! I love the texture, and the soft flavour of coconut. I think this would be equally delicious without bread but simply as a breakfast bowl with fruits and other toppings 😍
This is heaven!
This toast is incredibly delicious and easy to make. It’s the first recipe that I tried and it’s my favorite breakfast.
Grozav de bună pare! Voi încerca pentru micul dejun de azi!
Made this today and it was so delicious! We felt really fulfilled after eating it. Next time I would like to figure out how to get the consistency a bit smoother. I may not have used firm tofu.
I am new to eating vegan and have often wrote off Tofu but this was the best post workout meal! Wow!! 🤤🤤🤤
I love this recipe. I've made it so many times. I've just added PB2 (peanut powder) to the ricotta and pan fried bananas....
It was delicious and healthy, like all your recipes I've tried!
So good I made it twice. The second batch my berries were not ripe so I put the vegan whipped ricotta on a PB&J sandwich ( your seeded nut butter and jam on Trader Joe's Carb Savvy Sliced Bread) and it was insane! I felt like an English queen eating some decadent dessert.
Been loving the ricotta toast for my lazier and moodier days. It always brightens the mood and is so deliciously indulgent. Thanks for sharing that! You guys are doing a great job with PUL!
I found Sadia several years ago, when she first started posting. I'd only been vegan for a few years and came for all the nutritional information and articles, then stayed for the yummy recipes. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporsis and have been scouring the internet for vegan ideas high in calcium and protein. What you guys do the very best is create this wonderful variety of nutritionally well-rounded recipes that are also super tasty. You don't emphasize all the numbers but make them available, and along with that plate method graphic (which is amazingly helpful) has been really beneficial for someone like me. Many thanks!.. and btw, this one is sooo good!
First PUL recipe I personally didn’t like - it just tasted “wrong” and I can’t even put my finger on what I didn’t enjoy about it. Maybe I’ll try it with cashew butter instead of coconut cream and less lemon zest next time. I do like the idea of tofu and berries on toast.
That having said, my partner who hates most vegan recipes absolutely loved this one :D he used the words “flavor explosion”, so there’s definitely a win here ;-)
Really great recipe. I love it when a breakfast is healthy & delicious at the same time. As I didn't have frozen berries, I used just frozen strawberries, but it turned out surprisingly yummy as well. Definitely gonna make this toast again!
So simple and so delicious! Really does taste like cheesecake on toast! Love that it has a great protein source!
Wat een inspirerende gerechten!!!! Dankjewel! Snel wat ervan maken.
I made this today for the second time. First time it was perfectly delish! Today I am so upset with myself, I used silken tofu instead of firm and now it’s runny 😞 Will make again with the correct ingredients next time ha!
This recipe is brilliant!!
Ur videos are so soothing for the eyes and ears. It's motivating me every single day to turn vegan ... Thank You 💝💝💝💝
So tasty! Replaced the coconut cream with yogurt since I didn’t have coconut milk (used vanilla kite hill Greek style), and added a dash of salt on top to bring out the berries.
Absolutely delicious! The perfect way to start the weekend or just any day! Loved it!
Super yummy! I was out of lemon so I used an orange. Definitely not as good because it wasn’t as acidic as a lemon would have been. Next time I’ll use both orange and lemon. I’m excited about the versatility of the “ricotta” spread.
Any excuse to try a new vegan cheese recipe and I'm there! Thank you ever so much for introducing us to the delights of whipped ricotta! This really was exactly like eating cheesecake on toast. 😯 So delicious and wholesome, tangy yet sweet! 🤌🏻🫐
Looking goooood! Love your website
Hi Sadia. I really like your all recipes especially this one is really amazing. Thank you for sharing your healthy vegan recipes with us. I have a question that if we have 260 cholesterol level, then can I eat coconut oil, milk or cream. I don't want to skip any ingredients from your recipe that's why I am asking.
I would appreciate if you could share your thoughts related coconut products and it's effect on high cholesterol.
Thank you.
Regards,
Falguni
So easy and so delicious. Love your recipes!
I do not live vegan but I love your recipes as an inspiration to healthy meals.
So I use cheese and milk and eggs partly or even not and love the results.
Ok, I am really glad right now that I can give this recipe four stars because wenn I tried the whipped ricota by itself I really didn't like it too much, I found it to almost just taste like tofu. So I added a bit more lemon zest, yogurt and vanilla. But now that I tried it with the stewed berries and a little maple syrup on top, it tastes absolutely delicious and I can totally agree with what you said in the video, Sadia, that it tastes like cheesecake:-). I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe and congratulations on 4 million to the whole PUL team 🎊
Can't wait to make this later this week! I tried your whipped tofu cream cheese and it was amazing so very excited to try your sweet ricotta version. Thinking of adding some chia to the stewed fruit for a little extra nutrition!
i can recomend it i added lemon thyme for the extra kick :)
I have a sweet tooth, and I am big on breakfast, I literally laughed when you said these recipes would make you jump out of bed to make them, that's me, so I did make it the cheesecake toast as I had homemade toast, THANK YOU, it's a killer, and I was honestly running out of ideas, it had all my favourite flavours, the lemon zest and the berries combination is chef's kiss, I mean just the smell awakened my senses. I also loved the creaminess combination, you literally nailed the recipe it is perfectly balanced even texture wise, the perfect mouthful bite.
I cannot wait to fly home to make it for my sister as we share a love for breakfast, my love language is act of service, ours is quality time, therefore we always made a point of waiting for one another on our days off to share it, she would even wake up earlier as I'm an early riser.
I am looking forward to trying the others two, also thank your for the buckwheat porridge I've been looking for an oat alternative for a while.
Thank you PUL!!!
This looks delicious! Would like to try it, but I have high cholesterol. Is there a lower saturated fat substitute for the coconut cream?
The lush creaminess intoxicates! Love the use of lemon in the ricotta for two reasons! Helps it last a little longer and adds spring fresh loveliness! Thank you Sadia!
I just love your recipes! All are so delicious and not to complicated. Thanks Sadia being vegan is sooo easy. Thank you ❤️
All of these are so visually appealing and everything above that i cannot wait to try it... Hopefully it turns out like yours or else my mum will throw me out bc of the mess I'm gonna create tomorrow morning... 🫠
How do u even make it look so beautiful... Tbh i would not even eat it maybe place it on counter jus for people to observe...
I really lined this one! I have been trying to get me and my dad to do more healthy foods and meals these last months and we really liked this recipe sp thank you for sharing this with us ❤️🫶🏻
