Step-by-Step Instructions for Ricotta Pistachio Honey Bites
  1. Take your ricotta cheese out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. Using a sharp knife, roughly chop the pistachios until you reach your desired chunkiness.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, gently fold together the room-temperature ricotta, chopped pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. While the mixture sits, arrange your choice of crackers or crostini on a serving platter.
  5. Using a small spoon or piping bag, dollop about a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture onto each cracker.
  6. Finish off your bites by sprinkling extra chopped pistachios on top and drizzling some honey over them.
