- 250g mascarpone
- 100g golden caster sugar

Step by step
Get ahead
Make up to 1 day ahead, leave to cool then transfer to an airtight container. Keep chilled.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Whiz the digestives and 50g of the pistachios in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix in the melted butter. Press into the base of the muffin cases, then chill for 15 minutes.
- Next, make the filling: in a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, mascarpone, sugar and honey. Beat in the flour and 1 egg, then add the remaining egg and the vanilla seeds and beat until smooth. Finally, stir in the orange zest. Put 2-3 raspberries into each muffin case and divide the cheesecake mixture equally between them.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until just set. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 1 hour before transferring to the fridge to chill for at least another hour. Toast the remaining pistachios in the oven for 6-8 minutes and roughly chop.
- To serve, top with the remaining fresh raspberries and toasted pistachios, and drizzle with honey.
