If you read our blog regularly, you know that we watch a lot of football, and Super Bowl Sunday is thus generally a pretty special day for us. Well, not so much this year, as it was hard for us to care about the matchup itself. Instead, I just kept hearing that familiar refrain in my head…”GO BILLS!” So, I put on my “Just One Before I Die” t-shirt and made some Buffalo inspired Football Food! To make it happen, we decided to go with a spicy whipped ricotta, into which we dipped toast and celery sticks.
We enjoyed this as our entree, but it would also be a great dip for an appetizer or just as a gameday snack! Oh, and it takes very little time to make!
Time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
- 15 ounces Whole Milk Ricotta
- 1.5 Tablespoons Buffalo Sauce
- Cayenne Powder to taste (given the ratio of Ricotta to Buffalo Sauce, you’ll need Cayenne)
- Dipping Ingredients of your choice. A few good options are:
- Artisan Italian Bread (toasted)
- Tortilla Chips
- Celery
- Cauliflower Florets
- Sliced Red Bell Pepper
Method:
- Scoop your ricotta into the bowl of your stand mixer.
- Sprinkle on a copious amount of cayenne powder.
- Pour in your Buffalo Sauce.
- Use the whisk attachment to whip your ingredients together.
- As your ricotta is whipping, prep your dipping ingredients.
- Plate, devour, and enjoy!
