Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) container whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 cups half and half
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon rose water (optional)
  • 1 pinch saffron

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Blend the ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl with a hand mixer; divide the mixture between 12 muffin cups.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Arrange the cheese balls onto a dessert platter.
  4. While the cheese bakes, pour the half and half into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat; simmer 10 minutes. Stir 1 cup sugar, the cardamom, rose water, and saffron into the half and half and simmer another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Drizzle the cooled mixture over the cheese balls. Sprinkle the almonds and pistachios over the cheese balls to serve.
