These Ricotta and Chocolate Chip Donuts are soft and delicious, ready in just a few minutes, perfect for Carnival and kids’ parties.

The Ricotta and Chocolate Chip Donuts are a variant of the fried Carnival fritters cooked in oil. I’ve adapted this recipe for cooking in an air fryer, much lighter, resulting in a soft and delicious dough that will conquer you at the first bite. Ready in just a few minutes because they do not require rising time and without sugar in the dough, only to cover them once ready. I enriched them with dark chocolate chips to make them even more delicious, but they are also great without… you decide how to prepare them. Try also the recipe for Fried Donuts in Air Fryer without ricotta or in the savory version Savory Donuts in Air Fryer perfect as an appetizer.
