Whipped Ricotta Dip Lemon-Garlic and Honey
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 4–6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian, High-Protein
Description
This bright and smooth Whipped Ricotta Dip Lemon-Garlic and Honey is a quick, healthy, and high-protein appetizer or snack, ready in under 10 minutes. It combines creamy ricotta with vibrant lemon, savory garlic, and a touch of sweetness from honey.
Ingredients
- 15 oz whole milk ricotta
- 1 large fresh lemon, zest and juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Finely mince the garlic. Zest the lemon, then halve and squeeze out the juice. Measure out honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Whip Dip: In a food processor, combine ricotta, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Process on high until completely smooth, airy, and fluffy, scraping down sides as needed. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons milk or water.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the whipped ricotta and add more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or honey as needed to balance the flavors.
Notes
Use fresh ricotta and lemon for best results. For a milder garlic flavor, use roasted garlic. Honey can be swapped for maple syrup or agave. For dietary needs, use dairy-free ricotta or a sugar-free sweetener. Garnish with fresh herbs. A food processor ensures the smoothest texture; adjust seasoning (salt, lemon, pepper, honey) to taste.
