Can I use part-skim ricotta?

Yes, but the dip may be less creamy. Whole milk ricotta gives the best texture.

Is hot honey very spicy?

Hot honey is usually mildly spicy, but the heat level can be adjusted.

Can I mix the honey into the ricotta?

You can, but drizzling on top keeps flavors balanced and presentation cleaner.

What if my dip is too thick?

A small drizzle of olive oil can loosen the texture.
