Whipped Beet Ricotta

Jump to Recipe

This Whipped Beet Ricotta is vibrant and delicious, especially when surrounded by a variety of fresh veggies to dip in it!

Whipped Beet Ricotta

If you’ve never had whipped ricotta, it’s a must try! It’s one of our absolute favorite appetizers to enjoy as a family or to make for a party. So simple, yet so scrumptious! Brandon and I will even make a batch of it just for ourselves to enjoy on a date night in with lots of veggies, lightly toasted bread and crackers to dip in it. Mmmm…mmmm!

For springtime, I wanted to spruce up our regular whipped ricotta with the vibrant flavor and color of beets. Such a beautiful and tasty twist. We’re obsessed!

Whipped Beet Ricotta

Just blend ready-to-eat beets together with lemon juice and gently mix it in with the already whipped ricotta. The results are a light and airy dip with an absolutely beautiful look and taste. It’s an appetizer I’m eager to make often because I know everyone enjoys it. The opportunities to make it are endless: brunch, dinner party appetizer, date night in, ladies lunch, summertime or springtime snack board, bridal shower, baby shower, engagement party…

It’s easy, beautiful, and oh so delicious! Simply make the dip and set it out on a board or platter with toasted baguette slices and a variety of fresh vegetables. Some perfect springtime vegetables that accompany this whipped beet ricotta so well are:

  • Asparagus
  • Carrots
  • Radishes
  • Snow peas
  • Broccolini
  • Cauliflower
  • Endive leaves

I recently shared this stunning Whipped Beet Ricotta Board in the Spring 2020 Issue of IBB Home Magazine along with  a delicious Skillet Chicken Piccata, amazing Carrot Cake Cookies and refreshing Sparkling Raspberry Mojitos. It’s sure to be a delicious spring with all of these beautiful recipes…

Description

This Whipped Beet Ricotta is vibrant and delicious, especially when surrounded by a variety of fresh veggies to dip in it!


Ingredients

  • 8 ounces ready-to-eat, steamed and peeled baby beets
  • 1 large lemon, zest and juice, divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) container whole-milk ricotta
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • chopped fresh rosemary, for garnishing
  • sea salt, for garnishing
  • toasted baguette slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by zesting a large lemon and then squeezing the juice from it.

    This board is gorgeous. By “ready to eat” beets, do you mean canned beets, or something else?

    Can this dip be frozen? or do you think it will change the texture?

      Hi Kenna! I don’t recommend freezing ricotta unless you are going to be cooking with it. The texture just won’t be the same once you freeze and defrost it to eat it as is. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
