Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese drained
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped pistachios plus extra for garnish
  • 0.25 cup honey and additional for drizzling
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, ensure the ricotta cheese is well-drained and smooth. If it's a bit watery, you might want to press it through a fine mesh strainer.
  2. Add the finely chopped pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the ricotta. Gently fold to combine all the ingredients until smooth.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 15 minutes. This step helps to firm up the mixture for easier handling.
  4. Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands for a fun experience.
  5. Roll the formed bites in a bit of finely chopped pistachios to coat them generously.
  6. Arrange them on a plate and drizzle with honey before serving.

Notes

For an enhanced experience, serve alongside fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.
