These bite-sized beauties are the essence of Italia.

500g fresh ricotta, drained
2 1/2 cups (250g) almond meal
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1/2 a lemon
1 egg
1/3 cup (50g) plain flour
70g panko breadcrumbs
Sunflower oil, to fry
3 tsp instant coffee
150g raw sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

1.

Combine ricotta, almond meal, caster sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, egg and flour in a bowl. Scatter breadcrumbs in an even layer on a tray. Spoon rounded tablespoons of ricotta mixture onto the panko, gently coat in the crumbs, then place on a plate. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2.

Half fill a wok or frypan with oil and bring to 160°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 3 minutes when the oil is hot enough). In batches, cook fritters for 3-4 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Combine coffee, raw sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Scatter fritters with coffee sugar and serve hot.
