List of Ingredients

Chocolate Cheese Fritters


15 oz. ricotta cheese
3 eggs
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp. melted butter
2 tsp. grated orange peel
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 oz. milk chocolate, finely chopped
Vegetable oil, for frying
3/4 cup honey, warmed


Recipe


Mix ricotta and eggs with a fork. Add flour and mix just until incorporated. Add butter, orange peel, salt and chocolate, stir until just combined. Batter can be held in the refrigerator, covered for 2 days.

In a skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat. Check the oil to see if the batter sizzles, when a small drop is put in.

Add rounded tablespoons of batter to the oil. Do not crowd. Fry, turning once, until each side is golden brown. Put fritters on a warm platter and drizzle with honey to serve. They are best served immediately.
