Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, toasted and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out fresh ricotta cheese, honey, and pistachios. Toast the pistachios lightly in a dry pan over medium heat until aromatic, then chop them roughly for texture.
  2. Whip the Ricotta: Place the ricotta in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the ricotta until it becomes smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt gently into the whipped ricotta. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the texture is creamy and light.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving dish. Sprinkle the toasted pistachios evenly over the top and finish with a drizzle of honey and optional lemon zest for brightness.

Notes

  • Use fresh ricotta for the creamiest texture and best whipping results.
  • Toast pistachios gently and monitor closely to prevent burning.
  • Let ricotta and honey come to room temperature before mixing to ease whipping.
  • Whip just until fluffy to maintain light texture without becoming runny.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to match your preferred sweetness level.
