Ricotta Mascarpone Cream

Ricotta Mascarpone Cream

This ricotta mascarpone cream is a quick, versatile dessert with a smooth texture and gentle sweetness. Ricotta keeps it light while mascarpone, butter, and olive oil add richness, with honey and sugar balancing the salt. Serve it soft like pudding or chill it for a thicker cannoli- or cheesecake-style filling.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add the ricotta, mascarpone, honey, softened butter, olive oil, sugar, and salt to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  3. Taste and adjust the sweetness or salt if desired.
  4. For a softer, almost pudding-like cream, serve immediately. For a thicker cannoli-filling consistency, refrigerate until chilled before serving.
  5. Serve spooned into a bowl with fresh berries, spread onto something crisp or lightly toasted, as a fruit dip, on its own as a simple dessert, or as a cannoli- or cheesecake-style filling.
