Add ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender. Process on high speed until smooth and creamy. This will take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Spread the whipped ricotta in a serving bowl.
Top with your favorite toppings! We like a drizzle of hot honey, roasted pistachios, and fresh basil.
Serve with toasted slices of bread, crackers, or vegetables.
