How To Make ricotta fritters

  • 1
    In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs, cream, flour, cheese, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture together until it’s well combined, set aside.
  • 2
    In a large skillet, add enough oil to come up about ¼ of the way up the sides, get the oil nice and hot over medium-high heat.
  • 3
    Using a ¼ cup measuring device, add your dollops of ricotta mixture to the hot oil and allow them to cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain them on a paper towel lined plate.
  • 4
    Cook these in batches and keep adding more oil if you need to in between batches.
  • 5
    Serve with some marinara sauce or eat them as is!
