Notes

For the best flavor, use whole milk ricotta. It yields a creamier, richer dip compared to low-fat versions. Be gentle when heating the honey; overheating can alter its flavor and texture. Feel free to customize the hot honey to your liking. Experiment with different chili flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat. Want to make it ahead of time? Prepare the ricotta dip and store it in the refrigerator. Heat the honey and drizzle just before serving to maintain its vibrant color and viscosity.
