Ricotta Fritters with Coffee Sugar

These airy crunchy fritters are a mix of drained ricotta, blanched almond flour, lemon zest, egg and panko breadcrumbs. They are then fried to beautifully golden and crispy with a tender, fluffy centre, served scattered with some espresso sugar. If desired, serve those delicacies with some extra berry coulis or coffee syrup.

Spoon rounded tablespoons of ricotta mixture onto the panko, gently coat in the crumbs, then place on a tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.

We have Jacobs here as well, I hear one of your major supermarket chains kicked them out of their stores when they raised prices indecently, so now they just sell their own brand instead of Jacobs. Wish our stores would do the same with some of our greedy companies as well. It is insane how prices have gone up, for some things even up to %200!

Raymund 14/9/23 02:00: These Ricotta Fritters with Coffee Sugar sound like an absolute delight! 😍 The combination of ricotta, almond, lemon zest, and vanilla extract must make them wonderfully flavorful. And that crispy outer layer from the panko breadcrumbs, followed by a dusting of coffee sugar – pure indulgence! ☕
tigerfish 14/9/23 02:03: That espresso sugar is the magic touch! It's now all savory and sweet :)
David 14/9/23 03:29: Angie, Exotic but quite lovely looking with great ingredients. Ricotta fritters are new to me but I'm sure I'd gobble them up! That coffee sugar wouldn't hurt either. Love ricotta cheese. FYI, the only cheesecake I've ever eaten that I really enjoyed was still warm from the oven and it was made with ricotta cheese. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
