16 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese
1-2 tablespoons orange zest I used the zest from one orange, save a little for serving
2 tablespoons orange juice I used the juice from ½ of a juicy orange
3 tablespoons honey

To Serve

drizzle of honey
sprinkle of orange zest

Instructions

Place the ricotta, orange juice and zest, and honey into a medium bowl.
If desired, save a little bit of the zest for sprinkling over the top.
With a hand mixer, using either beaters or a whisk attachment, whip the ricotta mixture at medium speed for a few minutes or until everything is combined, smooth, and creamy.
You can also use a food processor.
To serve, top with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of orange zest. It's delicous with cake, fruit, granola, or grilled bread.

Notes

For best results, use good quality whole-milk ricotta. It whips up creamier and silkier than low-fat and store brand ricotta.
A hand mixer, blender, or food processor all work well to whip the ricotta into a luscious smooth consistency.
Store whipped ricotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
