Method

Use a fresh batch of macadamia ricotta or let it ferment for a day. (The difference between leaving it to ferment or not is the added benefits of the probiotics and the acidic ‘cheesy’ taste it gets from the fermentation process.) Then add salt, pepper and lemon juice to the cheese until you have a good balance between salty and acidic.
