Step-by-Step Instructions for Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until creamy.
  2. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to portion out small amounts, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll into bite-sized balls.
  3. Prepare a shallow dish with extra chopped pistachios or cocoa powder. Roll each ball in the coating to enhance texture and flavor.
  4. Place the coated bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Serve the Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites straight from the fridge, optionally drizzled with honey.
