Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1/4 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.
