Ricotta Kisses image

These baci di ricotta -- perfect kisses, hot, soft and melting -- are a surprisingly easy dessert. It's just a question of mixing the ingredients in a bowl (by hand) and then frying rounded teaspoonfuls of the batter in just under an inch of oil until you have some light, small, vaguely ball-shaped fritters that need no more than a powdery dusting with confectioners' sugar. Put a dish mounded with them on the table with coffee and watch them go.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup ricotta
2 large eggs
1/2 cup Italian 00 flour (note below)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for frying
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine ricotta and eggs, and mix until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Mix again to make a smooth batter.
  • Fill a wide, shallow skillet with about 3/4 inch of oil. Place over medium-high heat until a bit of batter sizzles when dropped in. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter into pan, 5 or 6 at a time. When batter puffs and undersides turn golden brown, after about 1 minute, flip kisses and allow to brown again for about 1 more minute. Transfer browned kisses to paper towels to drain, and continue until all batter is used.
  • Pile kisses in a rough pyramid on a serving plate. Pass confectioners' sugar through a small fine-meshed sieve evenly over baci. Serve immediately.

I was disappointed with these ricotta kisses. The cookie dough was dry and the ricotta filling was bland.

These ricotta kisses are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a less sweet cookie dough.

I've tried other ricotta kiss recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The ricotta filling is so creamy and flavorful, and the cookie dough is perfectly crispy.

These ricotta kisses were a lot of work to make and they didn't turn out very well. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
