Gather all ingredients: ricotta cheese, crushed pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, lemon zest, and mint leaves.

Combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and mix until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Fold in the lemon zest gently if using.

Sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the ricotta mixture and fold in carefully.

Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls and place on a lined baking sheet.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Drizzle honey over each chilled bite and sprinkle with additional crushed pistachios if desired.

Transfer the bites to a serving platter and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
