Description
Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites are elegant, no-bake dessert bites made with creamy ricotta cheese, crunchy pistachios, and a drizzle of golden honey. These little Mediterranean-inspired treats are light, nutty, and perfectly sweet — ideal for parties, tea time, or a refined after-dinner dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 12 mini phyllo shells or toasted baguette slices
- Orange zest or crushed pistachios, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the ricotta mixture into each mini phyllo shell or onto toasted baguette slices.
- Top each bite with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
- Drizzle lightly with honey and garnish with orange zest or additional pistachios if desired.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving for a chilled treat.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use mascarpone cheese instead of ricotta or mix half and half.
- These can be made ahead — fill just before serving to keep the shells crisp.
- Try adding a small piece of dried fig or date on top for a fruity twist.
- Pairs beautifully with espresso, tea, or dessert wine.
