Ingredients
2 cups fresh ricotta cheese (about 475g)
Zest from ½ lemon
Juice from ½ lemon
¼ teaspoon salt
A dash of black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup runny honey
1 teaspoon spicy sauce (like chili sauce or hot sauce)
½ teaspoon crushed chili flakes
1–2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
¼ cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread the ricotta mixture onto a serving plate or shallow bowl, creating a slight swirl on top.
In a small bowl, mix honey with spicy sauce and chili flakes to create the hot honey.
Drizzle olive oil over the ricotta, followed by the hot honey mixture.
Sprinkle chopped rosemary and walnuts evenly over the top.
Serve immediately with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
Use high-quality fresh ricotta for the best texture and flavor.
Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing chili flakes or hot sauce.
Lightly toast walnuts for extra crunch and depth.
Can be prepared ahead, but add toppings just before serving.
