Notes
- Ricotta: Full-fat will yield the creamiest results, but you can use low-fat if preferred. However, the texture will not be as rich.
- Servings: The recipe can be easily halved or doubled.
- Honey-whipped ricotta: Whip ricotta + 1 tablespoon of honey (more to taste) + the finely chopped leaves of 1-2 small sprigs of fresh thyme + a pinch of lemon zest + about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice + a little salt + pepper + red pepper flakes. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle in more honey to taste.
