Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup honey (preferably natural and organic)
- 1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: a pinch of sea salt for balance
- Extra pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and fluffy.
- Fold in the finely chopped pistachios, reserving some for garnish.
- Form the mixture into small bite-sized balls or discs and place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and enhance flavor melding.

Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

- Swapping pistachios with almonds, walnuts, or cashews works well for variety.
- Vegan adaptation is possible with plant-based ricotta.
