Description
These Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites are a delightful combination of creamy ricotta, crunchy pistachios, and sweet honey, offering a perfect balance of flavors and textures in each bite.
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. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust by adding more honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
- Shape the Bites: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form small balls (about 1-inch in diameter) from the ricotta mixture.
- Roll in Pistachios: Roll each ball gently 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 to help them hold their shape.
- Serve: Once chilled, drizzle with additional honey before serving. Optionally, garnish with edible flowers or extra pistachios for a festive touch.
Notes
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- These bites can be served chilled, with no need for reheating.
- For a chocolate twist, roll the bites in cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate.
