Ingredients

  • Whole Milk Ricotta
  • Hot Honey
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Fresh Herbs for Garnish (Chives, Parsley, or Basil)
  • Crostini, Crackers, Pita Bread, or Fresh Vegetables (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ricotta: If your whole milk ricotta seems watery, transfer it to a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Whip the Ricotta (Optional but Recommended): Using a whisk or an electric hand mixer on low speed, beat the ricotta for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes noticeably smoother and slightly aerated.
  3. Season the Dip: To the whipped ricotta, add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Combine and Taste: Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
  5. Prepare for Serving: Spoon the seasoned ricotta dip into a serving bowl and create a slight well in the center.
  6. Drizzle with Hot Honey: Generously drizzle the hot honey over the surface of the dip, focusing on the central well.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and serve immediately with your favorite accompaniments.
