Carnival fritters with apples and pumpkin with ricotta batter are uniquely soft, and the pumpkin is used raw together with the apple, not cooked. This is a very simple and delicious dessert, but it must be strictly fried; baking would result in a completely different dessert. To make these delicious Carnival fritters, I used two ingredients that I love: pumpkin and apple, which for me is a perfect combination, but what truly makes these fritters special is the ricotta, which gives an incredible softness. I recommend trying them, and I’m sure they will win you over from the first bite. But now let’s see together what we need and how to make Carnival fritters with apples and pumpkin

Steps
QUICK AND DELICIOUS CARNIVAL FRITTERS WITH APPLES AND PUMPKIN AND RICOTTA BATTER
First, grate the pumpkin and apple and squeeze them well to remove some of the water they release. Place the ricotta in a bowl and mix it with the sugar, then add the apple and pumpkin, the egg, the baking powder, and the flour; mix everything well. The batter will be very sticky, and you should not add more flour; it must be just like that. Now heat the oil well, and when it is hot, start adding small scoops of batter using two spoons, turning them on both sides, and when they are cooked, drain them on absorbent paper and immediately coat them in sugar. The fritters are ready to be enjoyed.
