Whipping Ricotta is dead simple. You just whip it with an electric whisk until it’s creamy and smooth. With some brands of Ricotta you might need to add a few drops of milk but that is more less the only thing that can go wrong.

The result is a creamy almost velvety and smooth Ricotta cream. You can pair it with almost anything that works with any white mild cheese. Think mozzarella, burrata, ricotta. The Ricotta is served cold so it works best with appetizers. This one is a simple as it gets and it is delicious. Great Italian prosciutto, some fresh figs and a few drops of truffle honey.

If you can’t find truffle honey you can add a little bit of truffle oil into the olive oil or if you´re not into truffle you can skip it, it will still be a great meal.
