Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites
Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites are a sophisticated, creamy dessert with crunchy pistachios and sweet honey. This simple recipe delivers an elegant treat perfect for brunches or parties.
Ingredients
- 12 mini phyllo shells pre-baked
- ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsp honey plus extra for drizzling
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsalted pistachios shelled and finely chopped
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest
Instructions
Prep Shells
- I ensure 12 phyllo shells are crisp, warming at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes if needed, then cool for this simple recipe.
Make Filling
- In a bowl, I whisk ½ cup ricotta, 2 tbsp honey, and ½ tsp vanilla until smooth and fluffy, adding a pinch of cinnamon if desired for these creamy pistachio bites.
Fill Shells
- Using a spoon or piping bag, I fill each shell with 1 tbsp ricotta mixture, avoiding overfilling for this elegant sweet treat.
Add Pistachios
- I sprinkle ⅓ cup chopped pistachios over each filled shell, pressing lightly for this easy dessert bites.
Drizzle Honey
- I drizzle extra honey over each bite for a glossy finish in these Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites.
Chill or Serve
- I serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes to enhance flavors for this simple recipe.
Notes
- Use full-fat ricotta for a creamier filling and better structure.
- Drain ricotta if watery to prevent soggy shells.
- Toast pistachios in a dry pan for added flavor depth.
- Assemble just before serving to keep phyllo crisp.
- Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days, though crispness may fade.
