This simple Honeyed Ricotta recipe dates back generations in Italian families. It can be used at breakfast to be served as a topping or spread for breads, quick breads, pancakes, biscuits, english muffins, bagels and any other breakfast dish. For desserts, serve it on the side as a healthy alternative to ice cream for baked apples and other desserts.
This honeyed ricotta recipe can become a breakfast routine for those on low carb diets.
Things you'll need:
1 cup Ricotta
1/3 cup honey
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp sugar (optional)
1 Gather all ingredients and bring them to room temperature. If the Ricotta is too cold it will solidify the honey and it will not mix. If cold you will end up with solid pieces of honey in the Ricotta. To bring Ricotta to room temperature, leave it out overnight (but not longer as it is dairy and needs to be refriderated). A better alternative is to put the Ricotta in the microwave at half power and heat and stir occassionally until it is room temperature.
2 Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Adjust the honey and sugar to taste. Move to a glass serving bowl and serve with breakfast breads.
3 Consider variations which may include orange zest, vanilla beans, fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or vanilla yogurt.
