🍓🍑 Whipped Ricotta Fruit Dip with Roasted Stone Fruits
(Soft, creamy, slightly messy — a dip that deserves to be scooped with a spoon or a crust of bread.)
This isn’t a sweet fluff. It’s a rustic dip made with whipped ricotta, roasted stone fruits, a drizzle of honey, and just enough lemon to brighten it up. It spreads, it melts, it drips — and that’s exactly the point.

🔥 Instructions: 1. Whip the dip: Blend ricotta, honey, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth and airy (1–2 minutes in a food processor or by hand with a whisk). 2. Roast the fruit: Toss sliced fruit with olive oil. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes until soft and lightly caramelized. 3. Assemble: Spoon the whipped ricotta onto a ceramic dish or bowl. Top messily with warm roasted fruit and any juices. Drizzle with a bit more honey. 4. Serve: Scoop with crusty bread, crackers, or even fruit slices. Leave the drips — they’re part of the charm.
