Ingredients
  

4 medium ripe peaches

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup crushed pistachios (or nuts of choice)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional: Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into wedges, removing the pit. If you prefer, you can slice them into rings as well for a different presentation.

    Make the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well until the ingredients are smooth and fully incorporated.

      Assemble the Bites: On a serving platter, arrange the peach slices. Using a spoon or a piping bag, dollop or pipe a generous amount of the ricotta mixture onto each peach slice.

        Add Crunch: Sprinkle crushed pistachios over the ricotta-topped peaches for added texture and a nutty flavor.

          Final Touches: Drizzle a little extra honey over the top for sweetness (and visual appeal). If desired, a balsamic glaze can also be drizzled for an extra layer of flavor that complements the sweetness of the peaches.

            Garnish: Finish with a few fresh mint leaves for garnish, adding a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest taste. These bites are perfect as an appetizer, dessert, or a delightful snack.
