Ricotta Dip
Description
The Ricotta Dip combines ricotta cheese with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan to yield a smooth and luscious base. Freshly grated garlic, chopped rosemary, and lemon zest infuse the dip with aromatic herbal and citrus flavors that balance the richness of the cheeses. Olive oil adds silkiness to the mixture, which is whipped briefly to incorporate air and enhance creaminess before baking.
Baked at 400°F until slightly golden and bubbly, the dip develops a gentle crust on top while remaining soft inside. The optional drizzle of sugar-free honey introduces a mild sweetness that harmonizes with the savory elements. This dip is best served warm with Keto-friendly crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping, providing a rich and flavorful appetizer.
