Can I freeze ricotta dip?

I don't recommend it. Ricotta's water content is too high and once defrosted, it won't have the same creamy texture.

Why is my whipped ricotta grainy?

You didn't whip it enough. Scrape down the sides of your food processor and keep blending until smooth. If your ricotta is too thick, you can add a small splash or heavy cream to make it looser but be careful not to make it too thin.

How do I fix runny whipped ricotta?

If you added too much liquid to the food processor and the dip is too runny, the only way to fix it is to add more ricotta. Keep in mind the dip with thicken slightly in the fridge.

Whipped Ricotta Dip

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

This Whipped Ricotta Dip is extra creamy, a little spicy, sweet, and garlicky. It's a great appetizer for the fall and winter holidays! Serve with crackers or toasted baguette.

Instructions

Add ricotta, olive oil, hot honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper into a food processor.
Pulse and blend until completely smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed.
Add fresh thyme and pulse a few times to incorporate and blend it in a little bit.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to eat.
Serve garnished with more fresh thyme, a light drizzle of hot honey, and some freshly ground black pepper with crackers or a toasted baguette to dip.

Notes

Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. The dip thickens in the fridge. I recommend taking it out of the fridge at least 10-15 minutes before you’re ready to eat to allow the dip to loosen up a little bit.
