Whipped Ricotta Spread

December 22, 2015 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

Whipped Ricotta Spread is an amazingly simple but delicious recipe that can be used as a spread, on top of pasta or as a dip for vegetables!

I’m about to blow your mind with literally the BEST thing you might ever make and it takes less than five minutes. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it isn’t!

I made this Whipped Ricotta Spread {dip or whatever you want to call it} for our Christmas party this year and I fell in love. It is so versatile, one of the best appetizers, and tastes absolutely amazing on bread or with vegetables too.

Now, you can totally make your own ricotta and this would be even more incredible but I didn’t have time to do that this year. I went to our local Wegman’s cheese section and got a high quality whole milk ricotta instead. It has to be whole milk though so keep that in mind!

I served this with fresh garlic bread from the bakery for a Christmas party appetizer but I also found myself dipping vegetables in it too. My next plan is to use it on top of pasta for a little bit of added creaminess. 

This dip is so easily made in advance that it makes it the perfect easy party food. You can also change up what you put on top too. I think a crispy sage or a little bit of rosemary would be fantastic.

Just be sure you make plenty because once everyone discovers this, they are going to keep going back to the table for more and more. What are some of your favorite easy party recipes? Have you ever made your own ricotta cheese before?
