Description
No-Bake Honey Pistachio Ricotta Bars have a buttery graham cracker crust, a creamy honey-sweetened ricotta layer, and a crunchy pistachio topping, with no oven required.
Ingredients
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crushed graham crackers
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
1 pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter.
3. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish and press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom to form the crust.
4. Spread the ricotta mixture over the crust with a spatula, smoothing the top.
5. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top, pressing them in slightly.
6. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, until firm.
7. Slice into bars and serve chilled.
Notes
Line the dish with parchment so you can lift out the slab and cut clean bars.
Press the crumbs firmly and evenly so the crust holds together.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
