Ingredients

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

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, finely chopped pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and add more honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Adjust other ingredients as needed.
  3. Shape the Bites: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form small balls from the ricotta mixture, about 1-inch in diameter.
  4. Roll in Pistachios: Gently roll each ball in the remaining chopped pistachios to coat evenly.
  5. Chill: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, remove from the fridge and drizzle with additional honey. Optionally, garnish with edible flowers or extra pistachios.

Notes

  • Topping Variations: Try experimenting with cocoa powder, finely chopped dried fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Keep the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make Ahead: These bites can be prepared a day in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to serve.
