Ingredients

1 cup ricotta
1 tablespoon cream cheese
large handful basil
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
2 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
½ garlic clove optional, you may wish to mince prior to blending
pinch salt
pinch black pepper

For the topping

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
thyme leaves
black pepper optional

Instructions

Add all the ingredients for the dip (not the toppings) to a blender and blend for 5-10 seconds until slightly whipped and all the ingredients are combined.
Transfer to your bowl, and drizzle on some more olive oil and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Grind a little black pepper, if using.

Notes

If you would like a stronger herb flavour then simply add more basil and thyme.
Mincing the garlic before adding to the blender would be beneficial to ensure that it distributes evenly through the dip.
