Miss Ada's Whipped Ricotta Dip

Recipe taken from Branch Eats, recreating Miss Ada’s whipped ricotta dip

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh Ricotta

• 1/2-1 Lemon, squeeze for juice

• 1 stick Unsalted Butter 

• 2-3 Tbsp Honey 

• 4-5 leaves Fresh Sage, chopped finely

• Flakey sea salt

Steps:

• Place ricotta and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, whisk for 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth and creamy. Place in a serving bowl.

• In a stainless steel skillet, melt the butter over medium low heat until butter sputters, settles and milk fats sink to the bottom of the pan (should only take a few minutes). The butter will start to smell nutty when it has properly browned. Let cool in pan for a minute or so, then strain through sieve into separate cup or bowl.

• Top whipped ricotta with the brown butter and honey. Swirl gently to meld flavors but do not mix together entirely. Sprinkle salt and sage to finish. Serve with bread.
