How to make whipped ricotta

Making whipped ricotta is a really simple process, and adds the perfect creamy texture to this toast. Let me show you how.

To make whipped ricotta in a food processor, start with 1 cup of whole milk ricotta. Add the ricotta to the food processor and pulse for 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and fluffy. For a creamier texture, you can add a little cream and process again until well combined.

Ingredients

• Bread- I went with whole wheat, but sourdough, multigrain, or even a white are also delicious. Using a hearty bread will hold up to all the toppings we will be adding.
• Ricotta- as noted above, this will be whipped. I prefer whole ricotta, but low-fat can also be used.
• Blueberries- Fresh is best!
• Honey- for drizzling over the finished toast.
• Chopped pistachios- any nuts can be used, but pistachios are usually my go-to.
• Microgreens- These are optional, but let me tell you, they are REALLY good on the toast!

How To Make Ricotta Toast

Start by whipping the ricotta. Place it in a food processor or blender. Pulse it for 1-2 minutes until it is light and creamy. In a small bowl, add the blueberries and mash slightly. Some of the berries will be whole, which is what you are looking for. Mashing the berries slightly makes it easier to keep it on top of the toast without rolling off.

Once this is finished, the toast is ready to assemble. Toast the bread, top with the whipped ricotta, chopped pistachios, microgreens and drizzle with the honey. Serve the toast immediately.

Variation options

• Berry Medley with Almonds: Mix fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, topped with sliced almonds, mint leaves, and maple syrup.

• Tropical Twist: Use chopped pineapple and mango, shredded coconut, and fresh cilantro, with a touch of lime zest.
• Apple Cinnamon: Slice fresh apples, toss with cinnamon, top with chopped pecans, honey, and a spoonful of mascarpone or cream cheese.
• Avocado and Tomato: Swap berries for thinly sliced tomatoes and mashed avocado, topped with toasted pumpkin seeds and balsamic glaze.
• Citrus Burst: Replace blueberries with orange or grapefruit segments, crushed pistachios, honey, and a pinch of sea salt.
