Whipped Ricotta or Cottage Cheese Cream Cheese Protein Dip

15- oz full-fat ricotta cheese

4 oz cream cheese at room temperature (or Neufchatel cheese) - Although you can make this recipe without cream cheese, I prefer to add it to mine. It adds a firm consistency to the dip!)

½ teaspoon lemon zest or lime zest

1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice

2 garlic cloves or 1-2 teaspoon garlic powder. NOTE: For a more pungent flavor, mince the garlic and add it raw to the dip. For a dip with a mild flavor of garlic, slice the cloves and cook them in a small skillet with 1 tablespoon of EVOO over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, tilting the pan, or until they become light golden brown. Add a drizzle of honey to your dip to help to balance the bitterness of the cooked garlic. I prefer to use raw garlic in mine. 2 garlic cloves or 1 to 2 teaspoon garlic powder.
