Preparation
Ricotta cheese
Preferably, the day before, make your vegan ricotta cheese
You will want to soak your almonds overnight, or alternatively you can boil them for 15 minutes
Drain and rinse the almonds then add to a high-speed blender/food processor
Add the other ingredients to the blender also, making sure to only spoon the solid cream part of the coconut milk into the blender
Blend on high until it's very smooth and creamy with no almond chunks left
Stop and scrape down the sides as needed
Lay out a kitchen towel and then add a few large pieces of paper towel over top of the kitchen towel
Spoon the ricotta cheese onto a few large pieces of paper towel, then wrap it all up and let it set up in the fridge overnight
Alternatively, you can use cheesecloth if you have it
Any leftover ricotta can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
Note: alternatively you can make your ricotta cheese and place in the fridge while you make the tart, making the ricotta the day before is preferred but it can all be done at the same time
Making the galette
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
In a small bowl, make your flax eggs by stirring together the flaxseed meal and water and letting the flax eggs
In a large bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together
Next, add the softened coconut oil and flax eggs and stir
Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until your dough sticks together- i used 1 cup, but please do this a little at a time
