Instructions

Place the drained ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor.
Process the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the ricotta is completely smooth, light, and airy.
Transfer the whipped ricotta to a shallow serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well or swirl in the center.
Drizzle the hot honey evenly over the top of the dip.
Garnish with fresh herbs and toasted nuts, if using.
Drizzle a small amount of extra olive oil around the edges. Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Serve immediately with crostini, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

If you do not have a food processor, you can use a high-powered blender or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whip until very smooth.
For a savory version, skip the honey and top with garlic-infused olive oil, fresh basil, and cracked black pepper.
This dip tastes best served at room temperature. You can make it up to 4 hours ahead and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before serving.
