Ingredients
  

1 cup ricotta cheese (whole or part-skim)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., chives or basil)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic.

    Whip It Up: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium until it’s creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. If you prefer a lighter texture, mix for an additional minute.

      Season: Add the chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to the ricotta blend, mixing well to ensure even distribution. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

        Serve: Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little more olive oil on top. Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a pop of color.

          Pair: Serve immediately with an assortment of crackers, breadsticks, or fresh veggie sticks for dipping.
