10- Minute Whipped Ricotta
In just 10 minutes, creamy ricotta cheese is whipped to perfection and served with honey, lemon, and fresh herbs for an ultra flavorful combination. Store-bought whole milk ricotta or homemade whole milk ricotta work wonderfully! Serve as a dip, spread, or easy crostini appetizer.
Ingredients:
-1 cup whole milk ricotta the freshest you can get
-2 TBSP fresh mint roughly chopped
-1 teaspoon fresh parsley finely chopped
-1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
-1 TBSP olive oil additional for baguette slices
-3 teaspoons honey
-Generous pinch of sea salt to taste
-Freshly ground black pepper to taste
-1 Baguette sliced, if using
Instructions:
Place the ricotta in a small mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment or beaters, whisk ricotta for 2 minutes until it's smooth and creamy; you may still see tiny bumps of ricotta, this is ok. Place the whipped ricotta in a serving bowl or spread on a plate.
In a separate bowl, stir together the mint, parsley, lemon zest, olive oil, honey, and salt. Pour the herb and honey mixture on top of the whipped ricotta. Top with freshly ground black pepper as desired. Serve with grilled baguette slices, crackers, or vegetables.
