Deliciously creamy and nutty Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites that make a perfect bite-sized dessert or snack. These easy-to-make treats combine smooth ricotta cheese with sweet powdered sugar and aromatic vanilla, rolled in crunchy chopped pistachios and beautifully finished with a drizzle of luscious honey for a balanced flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Dairy and Sweeteners

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Nuts

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ricotta mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  2. Form the bites: Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the ricotta mixture and gently roll them between your palms to create bite-sized balls.
  3. Coat with pistachios: Spread the finely chopped pistachios on a plate and gently roll each ricotta ball in the nuts, pressing lightly to ensure the nuts adhere evenly around the surface.
  4. Final touch and serve: Arrange the coated ricotta bites on a serving dish and drizzle the honey evenly over them just before serving to add a rich, sweet glaze.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, chill the ricotta mixture before forming the balls.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ricotta for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature based on preference.
