A sweet treat with no refined sugar that's perfect with fresh fruit. Or cookies. I'm not one to judge.

  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Notes

For a thicker dip, strain your ricotta cheese overnight. Since this is a "throw it together recipe" for me, I just pour out the liquid and use the rest.
Speaking of "throw it together," feel free to customize this recipe to your own taste or to use whatever you have on hand. Don't have honey? Maple syrup is great. Don't like orange zest? Leave it out. Add pumpkin pie spice, throw in some nuts, try marscapone cheese. You seriously can't go wrong!
