Ingredients
Scale
For the Base:
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons high-quality honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
For Assembly:
- 24 small crackers or crostini
- Extra chopped pistachios for garnish
- Additional honey for drizzling
- Edible flowers (optional, but so pretty!)
Instructions
- Get Everything Ready: Allow ricotta cheese to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure easy mixing and a smooth texture. While waiting, roughly chop the pistachios into slightly chunky pieces to maintain a good texture without them falling off the crackers.
- Create the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, gently fold together the room-temperature ricotta, finely chopped pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix carefully to keep the ricotta light and fluffy. Taste and adjust honey for desired sweetness.
- Final Assembly: Arrange the small crackers or crostini on a serving platter. Using a spoon or a piping bag, dollop the ricotta mixture onto each cracker. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios and drizzle a little honey on top. Optionally, add edible flowers to enhance presentation and make the bites visually stunning.
Notes
- Allowing the ricotta to come to room temperature creates a creamier, smoother texture.
- Adjust the amount of honey in the mixture to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Use high-quality honey and vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- Edible flowers add a beautiful touch but are optional.
- Serve immediately to keep crackers crisp, or assemble shortly before serving.
