Whipped Ricotta

Ricotta is great, but Whipped Ricotta is magic! This is a simple recipe for silky, creamy whipped ricotta. Use as a dip or spread, both ways are delicious. Serve with toast or baguette.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces whole milk ricotta I like the basket ricotta from Bellwether Farms
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ small lemon juiced, seeds removed
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Add the ricotta, olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt to the food processor.
  • Process until the ricotta mixture is super smooth, this takes about 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer the whipped ricotta to a shallow bowl. Top with an extra generous drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of sea salt. You can add dried herbs or honey! I also like to zest the lemon and add that on top for extra flavor.
  • Serve fresh, with toast points or sliced baguettes. Delicious ^_^
