Sweet Ricotta Rolls with Honey and Nuts

Print Recipe

Crispy phyllo rolls filled with a creamy sweet ricotta mixture, finished with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of crunchy nuts for a delightful dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pistachios, walnuts, or almonds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix ricotta, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Lay one phyllo sheet on a flat surface and brush with melted butter. Repeat layering and brushing with 3 more sheets (4 total).
  4. Cut the stacked phyllo into 4 equal rectangles.
  5. Place a spoonful of ricotta mixture on one end of each rectangle, fold the sides in, and roll tightly.
  6. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 8 rolls total.
  7. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, brush tops with butter, and bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped nuts and cinnamon while still warm. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat ricotta for the creamiest texture.
  • Phyllo dough dries out quickly—cover unused sheets with a damp towel.
  • You can substitute maple syrup for honey if preferred.
  • Best enjoyed warm, but can be stored and reheated in the oven.
