Crush pistachios for garnish using a food processor or knife, leaving some chunks for texture.

Add whole milk ricotta cheese to the food processor.

Add a good gug of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) and a big tablespoon of honey to the ricotta.

Blend the mixture for about 1 minute.

Scrape down the sides of the food processor.

Add lemon zest, a splash of vanilla, and a couple teaspoons of lemon juice, being careful not to add too much liquid.

Blend for another minute until well combined.

Plate the whipped ricotta on a separate plate from other items to avoid overpowering flavors.

Drizzle another tablespoon of honey on top of the whipped ricotta.

Garnish with crushed pistachios.

Serve with graham crackers, thin pretzels, whole dates, and strawberries.
