Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) feta cheese
- 4 ounces (113 grams) ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) chopped pistachios
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) dried cranberries
Serving Suggestion:
- Pita or flatbread wedges
Instructions
- Place feta, ricotta, and sour cream into a food processor, blending for 3-4 minutes until the mixture transforms into a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Select a serving bowl or decorative platter and carefully transfer the whipped feta mixture, ensuring a smooth surface.
- Elegantly drizzle golden honey across the top of the creamy dip, creating an appetizing pattern.
- Scatter finely chopped pistachios and vibrant cranberries over the honey-glazed surface, strategically arranging them in a graceful line through the center for visual appeal.
- Warm pita bread or flatbread wedges complement this dip perfectly – gently toast them just before serving to enhance their texture and flavor.
Notes
- Soften feta at room temperature before blending to ensure ultra-smooth texture without lumps.
- Use full-fat dairy ingredients for richest, creamiest consistency that holds its shape perfectly.
- Adjust thickness by adding small amounts of milk or olive oil if mixture feels too dense during processing.
- For dairy-free version, substitute feta with cashew-based cheese and coconut cream instead of sour cream.
