Notes
Store whipped ricotta in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
For best results, I recommend adding all the toppings just before serving.
If you see the dip separating a bit, just give it a good stir before serving.
If it's too cold, let it sit on the kitchen counter for 5-10 minutes before serving.
