Ingredients
Scale
- 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese, drained
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp hot honey (or regular honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes)
- Fresh basil or thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Place the drained ricotta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
- Process the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the ricotta is completely smooth and airy.
- Transfer the whipped ricotta to a shallow serving bowl.
- Drizzle the top evenly with the hot honey.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh herbs.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- If you do not have a food processor, you can use a hand mixer, but you may need to whip longer to achieve the light texture.
- For a savory version, substitute the hot honey with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and chopped fresh herbs.
- Drain the ricotta well before starting; excess liquid prevents the dip from becoming light and fluffy.
