If you are leaving cookies for Santa adding a ricotta clementine dip to pair with the ginger cookies is a must. This recipe is simple and has few ingredients. The dip is ready in a few minutes, and you can use it for creating other desserts such as charlottes, trifles, or for dipping your favorite fresh fruits.

Clementines are one of our favorite citrus fruits of the season and a good addition to the ricotta clementine dip. Now you can find them sweet and juicy. Plus you can find fresh clementine juice at the store. Or replace it with orange if you cannot find it at your local store.
