10-Minute Lemony Whipped Ricotta Dip

All you need is 5 ingredients and 10 minutes to make this creamy, fluffy whipped ricotta dip! With lemon zest, olive oil, and basil, it's fresh, flavorful, and airy as a cloud. Dollop it on crostini, serve it with fresh veggies, or eat it by the spoonful. It's one of my favorite no-cook party apps!
