Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Fritters

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

These little fritters are a special treat! They remind me of funnel cakes at the fair but jazzed up a touch with the ricotta and fruit flavors. And feel free to swap the fruit, raspberries would be a great substitution for the blueberries.

Baking with ricotta has become my new thing! While baking isn’t necessarily my speciality I have found ricotta makes your baked goods so light and fluffy! I highly recommend you give it a try!

I developed this recipe for a collaboration with my friend Kristin at Hapa Homecooking. She’s a nurse in Annapolis, MD and over the last few months, she and I have become good friends. One day I took over her Instagram account and made these fritters for her friends and followers! They seemed to be a big hit as lots of people were excited for the recipe!
