Place the well-drained ricotta in the bowl of a food processor.
Blend at high speed for approximately 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue to process for another minute.
Add the icing sugar and ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon. Process for another minute or until smooth.
Taste for sweetness and adjust for personnel preference.
Notes
The total yield for this recipe is scant 2 cups.
If buying commercial, look for high-quality, whole milk ricotta to achieve superior results. If necessary strain it.
A handheld blender or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer will provide similar results to using a food processor.
Create flavorful variations by gently folding the following ingredients:
a small handful of mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet or dark
one ounce of grated or chopped semisweet chocolate
candied citrus peel
a teaspoon or so of finely grated orange or lemon zest for a burst of citrus flavor
half a teaspoon of pure vanilla or almond extract
