Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 15 oz Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese drained well
  • 1 cup Roasted Salted Pistachios finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Raw Wildflower Honey
  • 1/2 cup Finely Ground Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Orange Zest
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fine-Mesh Sieve
  • Cheesecloth
  • food processor
  • Parchment-lined Tray

Method
 

  1. Drain the Cheese: Place your ricotta in a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Pistachios: While the cheese drains, pulse your pistachios in a food processor until they are fine but still have some texture.
  3. Mix and Incorporate: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained ricotta, honey, almond flour, vanilla, and orange zest. Stir gently until uniform.
  4. Chill the Base: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  5. The Rolling Ritual: Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms into a smooth ball. Drop the ball into the bowl of crushed pistachios and roll it around until fully coated.
  6. Final Set: Place the finished bites on a parchment-lined tray. Let them set in the fridge for another hour before serving.
