Better Than Ricotta Cheese by Tofutti

It ruined my lasagna
From Anonymous of San Diego, California on 4/20/2022.

I had such high hopes for this because Tofutti makes those great little ice cream sandwiches, but I was clearly wrong. Usually vegan cheese just tastes a little different from dairy cheese but is otherwise tolerable, however this was a different story. It’s actively disgusting. I tasted it out of the container and it was okay… not terrible, but I did catch a slightly sweet, plastic flavor. Mistakenly, I put it in my lasagna thinking that the other ingredients would overpower the plastic taste, but that didn’t work.

Well the name is a lie...

I'm glad that a product like this exists, but I don't like the taste. It tastes strangely artificial. Not in like a "this is fake cheese" way, but more of a "is this actually food?" kind of way. It's like half the tub was filled with Elmer's glue. Non-toxic? Yes. Tasty? No. It's a shame because I was REALLY excited to try this once I saw it. It's not as bad once it's mixed into or cooked in something, but it's definitely strange.

Weirdly sweet, not for lasagna

Made a lasagna using this, every bite that had the tofutti in it tasted like sweet, lasagna yogurt. Not buying again.

Very convenient

I almost didn't try due to the other reviews, but I'm glad I did. I'm not a do it yourself person so I had no desire to make ricotta. It does have a sweet taste to it but nothing over powering. Used it in vegan lasagna and it tasted just fine. Will use again with no hesitation.

Superb

Tried this to make a spinach lasagna. I mixed it with a vegan shredded mozarella and fresh parsley and lots of garlic. I used this delicious concoction for 2 of my lasagna layers. My omnivore BF still dreams about that lasagna. Mind you, a spoonful of it out of the tub is not so good but neither (IMO) is the shredded vegan cheeses. Many of these faux dairy cheeses must be melted. So grateful this product exists!
