Whipped Ricotta Honey Thyme (Printable Recipe)

Creamy whipped ricotta with honey and thyme—light, flavorful, and ready in 5 minutes.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Whipped Ricotta Base

01 - 1 cup full-fat ricotta cheese
02 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
03 - 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus more for garnish
04 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

→ Topping

05 - 1 teaspoon runny honey, for drizzling
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine the ricotta, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil in a food processor. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
02 - If the texture is too thick, blend in an extra teaspoon of olive oil. For a firmer spread, chill for 15–20 minutes.
03 - Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, and sprinkle with fresh thyme and flaky salt to taste.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use full-fat ricotta for the creamiest texture and flavor.
02 - For a more savory version, omit the honey and add chopped herbs or a pinch of chili flakes.
03 - Hand blending or whisking also works but produces a slightly less smooth result.
04 - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
