Instructions

Prep the Strawberries: Rinse and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Cut off the tops and gently hollow out a small cavity inside each strawberry using a small spoon or melon baller.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy. For extra fluff, beat the mixture with a hand mixer for 1–2 minutes.
Fill the Strawberries: Spoon or pipe the ricotta filling into each hollowed strawberry, smoothing or swirling the top for an attractive finish.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle the filled strawberries with crushed pistachios or almond crumble. Optionally, drizzle extra honey on top.
Freeze Until Firm: Place the filled strawberries upright on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 1–2 hours until firm but creamy in the center.

Notes

Fruit Variations: Use smaller strawberries or try adding different toppings like crushed graham crackers or coconut flakes for a fun twist.
Alternative Sweeteners: You can replace honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or other sweeteners if preferred.
Storage: These bites are best enjoyed frozen and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the freezer.
Customization: If you don’t have lemon zest, you can skip it or use a little vanilla extract for flavor.
