Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whole pistachios for garnish (optional)
- Parchment paper for shaping
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the ricotta cheese, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Adjust sweetness with additional honey if preferred.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and scoop the ricotta mixture using a spoon or cookie scoop. Shape into small, bite-sized rounds.
- Press a whole pistachio into the center of each bite for added crunch and presentation.
- Place the formed bites in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set and allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, drizzle extra honey over the bites and garnish with chopped pistachios if desired. Serve on a platter or mini cupcake liners for an elegant touch.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute ricotta with a plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
- Insert additional flavorings like lemon zest or dried fruits for variety.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
