Today I present you with a super tasty recipe: ricotta castagnole! I love all Carnival sweets, but this ricotta recipe is wonderful. They are soft, delicate, and orange-scented, I’m sure they’ll win you over immediately, and you won’t be able to resist these sugar-coated balls.
Every time I make them, they disappear quickly, and I always receive many compliments; they are a must-try😜. Well, shall we make them together? This recipe is very simple, quick, and step-by-step 👇😜.
See you soon, Susy

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 9 oz ricotta
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 orange peel (grated)
- Half packet baking powder
- 2 cups peanut oil
- to taste sugar
You’ll need
- Bowl
- Slotted spoon
- Pan
Steps
In a bowl, I mix the ricotta with sugar using a pastry spatula, then add the egg and grated orange peel to make a creamy dough. Next, I incorporate the flour and baking powder to get a homogeneous dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the fridge for 10/15 minutes.
I heat the peanut oil in a high pan. I scoop the dough with a spoon to form classic balls. I start frying the ricotta castagnole until golden, drain them well with a slotted spoon, and immediately coat them in sugar. Now it’s time to taste them while they’re still warm!
Advice
I recommend eating them immediately after frying because they are too delicious.
