Have you ever made something so good that you just stood there blinking at it because you couldn’t believe you made it…
Well, that was me last weekend when I spotted a half-used tub of ricotta sitting in the fridge. It looked a little sad and I also noticed a jar of honey that I normally only use for tea along with some pistachios left over from that one time easy Pistachio Pie I tried to be a snacker which, by the way, didn’t last.

So without overthinking it, I decided to mash them all together. I didn’t have a plan but it was one of those lazy Sundays when you just throw things together. And just like that, these little Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites came to life.

They’re creamy while also being nutty and sweet although not too sweet, you know what I mean They go perfectly with coffee or even while you’re standing at the kitchen counter still open. Yes, I did that.

The first time I made them, I didn’t measure a thing. I just went with my gut and surprisingly, it worked out. So if you’re not the type to use exact tablespoons, don’t worry you’re in good company here.
And hey, there’s absolutely no judgment if you drizzle on extra honey because I always do the same.

So if you’ve got 10 minutes, a sweet tooth, and a craving for something that feels a little fancy without putting in much effort, this one’s definitely for you.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese drained if watery
• 2 tablespoons honey plus extra for drizzling
• A pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup shelled pistachios chopped
• 12 mini phyllo shells or small crackers optional
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional

How to Make Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is prepare the ricotta base. In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if using. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt for added flavor.

Step 2

Second, chop the pistachios. Using a knife, chop them into small pieces. You can toast them in a dry skillet over low heat for two to three minutes if you want extra crunch and flavor, but this step is optional.

Step 3

Now begin preparing the bites. If you’re using small filo sheets or biscuits, place them on a serving tray. Spoon about a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture onto each sheet. If you’re not using a base, form small patties or ovals using two spoons and place them directly onto a plate.

Step 4

Sprinkle the chopped pistachios generously over the ricotta mixture. Drizzle a little additional honey over each bite just before serving.

Step 5

Finally, serve and enjoy. It’s best served cold or at room temperature. You can also prepare it a few hours ahead and refrigerate it.
