Description

Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites are elegant, sweet, and effortlessly impressive. Featuring creamy ricotta, chopped pistachios, and a golden honey drizzle in crisp phyllo shells, these bite-sized treats are perfect for brunches, dinner parties, or indulgent snacks with minimal effort and maximum flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mini phyllo shells (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsalted pistachios, finely chopped
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest

Instructions

  1. If using store-bought phyllo shells, warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 3–4 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. In a bowl, whisk ricotta, honey, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Add cinnamon or lemon zest if using.
  3. Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each shell with about 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture.
  4. Top each with chopped pistachios, pressing lightly to help them stick.
  5. Drizzle additional honey over each bite for a glossy finish.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes to firm slightly before serving.

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.
