Ingredients
  

For the Ricotta Base
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese Essential for a creamy texture and structure; no substitutions recommended.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by placing 1 cup of ricotta cheese in a food processor. Pulse the ricotta for about 30 seconds until it becomes smooth and creamy. If you notice any lumps, add a tablespoon of milk or cream and blend again until fully combined.
  2. Next, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of honey while the processor is running. Mix for another 15-20 seconds to ensure the honey is evenly incorporated.
  3. Spoon the creamy ricotta mixture into individual ramekins or small serving cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  4. Chop a handful of pistachios and sprinkle them over the creamy ricotta in each cup, feel free to add fresh fruit on top.
  5. Cover the filled cups with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
