In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in chopped pistachios into the ricotta mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Using slightly dampened hands, scoop out portions and roll them into 1-inch balls; arrange them on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes until firm but creamy.
Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with extra pistachios or a drizzle of honey.
