  • 3 tbsp. Honey
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • to drizzle Olive Oil

Instructions

Directions

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your ricotta cheese is at room temperature to help it whip up beautifully.
  • Step 2: Whip the Ricotta - In a mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the ricotta until it becomes fluffy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Step 3: Add Honey - Pour in the honey and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Taste the mixture, and if you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more honey.
  • Step 4: Season It Up - Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. Mix again, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  • Step 5: Assemble the Dip - Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil, and if you like, add a sprinkle of herbs or additional toppings of your choice for extra flavor.
  • Step 6: Toast the Bread - While the dip is being prepared, toast slices of your favorite bread until they are golden and crispy. This will provide a wonderful texture when served with the dip.
  • Step 7: Serve and Enjoy! - Serve the Whipped Ricotta Dip with the toasted bread on the side. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, and watch it disappear quickly!
