CREAMY WHIPPED PARMESAN RICOTTA IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES

I recently shared my whipped ricotta with parmesan as part of another recipe, but honestly, it’s so good, it really deserves it’s own post. So here we are.

Whipped parmesan ricotta is quite literally just that- ricotta and parmesan cheese whipped together into creamy dreamy perfection. Just two ingredients and 5 minutes. That’s truly all it takes. Just be sure you’re using full-fat, straight from the fridge ricotta cheese. If it’s low-fat, or room temp, it just won’t hold up and instead of being creamy and whipped, it will be more liquidy and flat. And, while this recipe does truly take less than 5 minutes to make, it is best if it’s had some time (at least an hour) to chill in the fridge before it’s served.

Of course, the parmesan whipped ricotta is just perfect as is, but you can always jazz it up with some fresh herbs, honey (even better, hot honey), fresh ground pepper, calabrian chili peppers, chopped nuts, a drizzle of olive oil and/or balsamic vinegar, you get the idea.

And as far as serving it goes, well, the options are really endless. It’s great on toast or crisps as an appetizer, either alone, or with things like figs, pear slices, roasted grapes, cured meats or fresh tomatoes and basil. Drizzle it on a salad. Serve it with some brothy, stewed beans. Pair it with pasta or pizza, or better yet, use it as the sauce. This spread is just absolutely deliciously addictive and I’m telling you any way you serve this, you can’t go wrong and anyone you make this for will love you forever. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
