Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- ½ cup chopped pistachios
- ¼ cup honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Optional: crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs for coating
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios, ensuring even distribution. For extra texture, gently fold in crushed cookies or graham crackers if desired.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into bite-sized balls. Roll in crushed pistachios, cookie crumbs, or both for added flavor.
- Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Before serving, drizzle with additional honey and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
Notes
- Keep these bites refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container for up to a month.
- Allow frozen bites to thaw in the refrigerator before serving, and add a fresh drizzle of honey and mint garnish.
- Optionally, coat the bites with crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs for extra crunch.
