Orange and Pistachio Bites
Ingredients
- zest of 2 oranges
8 oz.
mascarpone cheese
½ cup
heavy cream, very cold
¼ cup
superfine sugar
2 tbsp.
Kowalski's Pure Honey, divided
30
frozen mini fillo shells, thawed
¼ cup
finely chopped roasted and salted pistachios
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine zest with cheese, cream, sugar and 1 tbsp. honey. Using an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks form; set cheese mixture aside.
- Using a sharp knife, cut about ½" from both ends of each orange, exposing the flesh. Set the fruit on one end and slice off strips of peel and white pith using a steady downward motion, following the curve of the fruit.
- Slice each orange into 7-8 thin rounds; cut rounds into quarters.
- Spoon filling into fillo shells; top with orange pieces.
- Drizzle with remaining honey; sprinkle with pistachios.
Tasty Tip:
- Tangerines and blood oranges work in this recipe, too.
