Creamy 10-Minute Whipped Ricotta with Any Herbs
This creamy Whipped Ricotta is a quick and easy appetizer that can be on the table in less than 10 minutes! Perfect for parties or as a snack, this dip is as versatile as it is delicious. We love to use a variety of leftover herbs to add flavor, but it's also delicious with just olive oil, lemon juice, and a drizzle of honey. Endlessly adaptable! Gluten-free, Vegetarian

Serving bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480g) ricotta cheese room temperature, we recommend full-fat
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice for a stronger lemon flavor use lemon zest as well
- 1 Tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil plus more for serving
- ¼ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ cup fresh mixed herbs, such as oregano, thyme, tarragon, basil, mint, dill, or parsley
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Truffle honey or regular honey optional, for serving
- For serving: crostini, crackers, crudité, or fresh fruit
Instructions
- Place everything in a food processor. Add 2 cups (480g) ricotta cheese, 2 Tbsp (30ml) lemon juice (and zest, if using), 1 Tbsp (15ml) olive oil, ¼ tsp flaky sea salt, and ¼ cup fresh mixed herbs into a food processor. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the ricotta is smooth and creamy. Taste, adjust seasoning, then transfer to a serving bowl.
- Assemble, then serve. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil and truffle honey on top. Serve with lots of freshly ground black pepper and additional fresh herbs. Enjoy!
Notes
- Keep leftover ricotta cheese dip in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving. Not recommended for freezing — the texture won’t hold up once thawed.
