Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
- 2–3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw and organic)

Instructions
- Blend the ricotta cheese with vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the chopped pistachios, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey and stir well to incorporate the natural sweetness.
- Use a teaspoon or cookie scoop to dollop small portions onto a parchment-lined tray, shaping into bite-sized rounds.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bites to firm up and flavors to meld.
Notes

- Add citrus zest such as lemon or orange to enhance flavor.
- For vegan options, replace ricotta with almond or cashew cheese and honey with maple syrup.
