Method

How to Make Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Stir until smooth and well blended—it should have a silky texture.
  2. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the ricotta mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Roll each ricotta ball in chopped pistachios until fully coated.
  4. Place the pistachio-coated bites on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Just before serving, drizzle the bites generously with honey.
  6. Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
