Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them for up to a month; just make sure to thaw them in the fridge before serving.
Reheating: These bites are best enjoyed chilled and do not require reheating. If they’ve been frozen, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before serving to maintain their creamy texture.
Serving: For an elegant presentation, arrange the Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites on a serving platter and drizzle with honey just before serving. Garnish with additional chopped pistachios or edible flowers for a pop of color and texture.
Chef’s Tip: To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the ricotta mixture. This will elevate the sweetness of the honey and balance the richness of the ricotta, creating a more complex taste.
