Make this creamy whipped ricotta dip with hot honey for a quick and delicious appetizer. It offers a perfect sweet and spicy balance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese, drained if watery
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup hot honey, plus more for drizzling
  • Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, fresh rosemary, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Place the drained ricotta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the ricotta is completely smooth and airy.
  3. Transfer the whipped ricotta to a shallow serving bowl.
  4. Drizzle the top generously with the hot honey.
  5. Add your desired optional toppings, such as toasted walnuts or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
  6. Serve immediately with crostini, pita chips, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use a high-powered blender or vigorously whisk the ingredients by hand until smooth, though this will take longer.
  • For extra flavor, gently warm the hot honey for 10 seconds before drizzling; this helps it spread evenly.
  • Serve this dip at room temperature for the best texture.
