Whipped Ricotta Dip
This whipped ricotta dip recipe is the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and savory. Infused with aromatic garlic and sweetened with a drizzle of honey, this easy-to-make dip is a sure crowd-pleaser and the perfect thing to spread on fresh sourdough bread!
Ingredients
- 350 g Ricotta (store bought or homemade)
- 30 g Honey (plus extra to serve)
- 2 cloves Garlic (crushed)
- 4 g Salt
- 15 g Olive Oil (plus extra to serve)
- Fresh Herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley, chives etc)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or Thermomix and whip until light and creamy and the herbs are well distributed.You can use a stand mixer if you don't have a food processor, but you'll need to finely chop the herbs and garlic first.
Notes
- This recipe is best made using whole milk ricotta cheese. Wetter ricotta will give you the best result as the whey gives a more creamy texture.
- If you don't have ricotta on hand, you can use cottage cheese for this dip, but fresh ricotta will always give you the best taste and texture.
- For a citrus twist to your creamy ricotta dip, add a teaspoon of lemon zest, squeeze of lemon juice and pinch of black pepper.
- If you're not a fan of a raw garlic flavor, you can use roasted garlic instead.
- I've used fresh thyme but any fresh herbs are fine - parsley, chives or rosemary work well too.
