Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup granulated sugar
Zest of 1 orange
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup fresh ricotta, drained
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
4 half-pint (6-ounce) containers fresh raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the fritters: Place 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven. Heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the granulated sugar, zest and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a shallow bowl.
  • Whisk together the ricotta, eggs, milk and vanilla paste in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, confectioners' sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Working in batches of about 6, scoop the batter with a 1 1/2-ounce ice-cream scoop and gently drop the dough into the oil. Fry the fritters, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain briefly and place directly into the zesty sugar. Roll the fritters to coat them in the sugar. Transfer to a platter and repeat until all the batter is used.
  • Meanwhile, for the raspberry jam: Place the raspberries in a deep medium skillet set over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, orange zest and juice and cinnamon stick. Cook until the raspberries begin to break down and become syrupy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Discard the cinnamon stick and stir in the salt. Serve alongside the fritters for dipping!

These fritters were a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that they were pretty good.

These ricotta fritters were a delightful treat! The texture was light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. The raspberry jam added a burst of sweetness and tartness that complemented the fritters perfectly.
