Instructions

  1. Whip Ricotta: In a mixing bowl, whip the ricotta cheese with a whisk or electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a light texture for the dip.
  2. Add Chili Flakes: Stir in the chili flakes evenly to distribute a gentle spicy kick throughout the ricotta mixture.
  3. Drizzle Honey and Oil: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl; drizzle hot honey and olive oil over the top to add a sweet and rich finishing touch.
  4. Serve: Serve the dip either warm or cold, depending on preference. If warming, gently heat the ricotta mixture before serving.

  • Adjust the chili flakes quantity according to your heat preference.
  • Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
  • To warm, heat gently on low in the microwave or stovetop to avoid curdling.
