List of Ingredients



• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1/2 cup flour
  
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
  
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  
• Vegetable oil, for frying
  
• 3/4 cup honey, warm
  






Instructions



1. Mix ricotta and eggs with fork. Add flour and mix just until incorporated. Add butter, orange zest, salt and chocolate; stir just until thoroughly combined. Batter may be prepared to this point, covered, and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
   
   
2. Either fry fritters up to 2 hours in advance of serving and serve them at room temperature (they are delicious), or fry and serve them hot or warm. Do not keep fritters in a warm oven for long or they will dry and toughen. Just before serving time, or up to 2 hours before, place a small ovenproof platter lined with several layers of paper towel or a cloth napkin in a 200-degree oven.
   
3. In wide skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil over medium heat until a few drops of batter sizzle vigorously when added to the pan. Carefully add rounded tablespoonfuls of batter to hot oil. Do not crowd fritters; they need space to fry properly and to turn. Fry until brown on 1 side, then turn
   and fry other side until brown. Transfer fritters to a warm platter with a fork or tongs. Serve drizzled with warm honey, or pass honey separately.
