Step 1
Put the ricotta in the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Start mixing on low and whip it gently for a couple of minutes. Slowly pour in the whipping cream and sprinkle in the salt while the mixer is running. Once everything is combined, turn the speed up to high and keep whipping until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and airy—this usually takes about five minutes. Stop once it reaches a smooth, creamy texture that’s perfect for spreading or dolloping.
