Method
- Add the ricotta cheese, monk fruit sweetener, vanilla bean paste, and optional pinch of sea salt to your food processor bowl.
- Secure the lid and process on high speed for 30 seconds until the mixture begins to smooth out and lighten in color.
- Stop the processor, remove the lid, and use a rubber spatula to thoroughly scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, ensuring no ricotta is stuck. This step is crucial for even whipping.
- Replace the lid and process for another 30 seconds on high speed until the ricotta is completely smooth, fluffy, and cloud-like in texture.
- Remove the lid and taste the whipped ricotta. If you prefer it sweeter, add an additional 1 tablespoon of monk fruit sweetener and pulse a few times to incorporate.
- Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving bowl or airtight storage container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly. This chilling step enhances the overall taste.
- When ready to serve, give it a quick stir if needed. Optionally garnish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon. Serve chilled or at room temperature with fresh berries, keto crackers, or as desired.
