Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and olive oil.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or a food processor, whip the mixture on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Add garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the whipped ricotta. Gently fold these ingredients in with a spatula to preserve the airy texture.
Step 4
Taste the ricotta and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper based on preference.
Step 5
Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving dish. Drizzle with an additional swirl of olive oil, if desired.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and herbaceous flavor, or substitute with your favorite fresh herbs like basil or chives.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a dip with low-carb vegetable sticks (e.g., cucumber, celery, or bell peppers) or as a spread for low-carb crackers or keto-friendly bread.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
