The carnival ricotta fritters are a delicious dessert that can be prepared in a few minutes. To shape these fritters, use two teaspoons or two tablespoons if you prefer larger ones. Carnival ricotta fritters are soft and irresistibly flavored. They can be flavored with cinnamon, orange zest, vanilla, and you can also add plumped raisins in rum or small apple pieces if you like.
