Ingredients
Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites:
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- ½ cup finely chopped pistachios
- ¼ cup pure honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: chopped pistachios, edible flower petals, or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, finely chopped pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust
Sample the mixture and add more honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Adjust any ingredients as needed for your taste.
- Shape the Bites
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form small balls from the ricotta mixture, about 1-inch in diameter.
- Roll in Pistachios
Gently roll each ball in the remaining chopped pistachios to coat them evenly.
- Chill
Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This will help them hold their shape.
- Serve
Once chilled, remove from the fridge and drizzle with additional honey before serving. Optionally, garnish with edible flowers or extra pistachios. Enjoy these beautiful and delicious Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites!
