Gluten Free Ricotta Kisses - Baci di Ricotta are a delicious gluten free dessert!  They are balls of fluffy ricotta centre and have a crisp outer shell and are topped with icing sugar. (They are so good eaten warm!)

I must thank a very lovely lady - Mari for sharing this delicious recipe with me! Lovely lady and lovely dessert. Her original recipe contained gluten but with a few little tweaks... I have created a gluten free version of Ricotta Kisses (Baci di Ricotta) and they are heavenly! So delicious that they are very hard to stop eating! (yes, we made a few batches because they didn't last long enough to take photos of them...thanks to my boys :-))

They are easy to make, and are perfect dusted with icing sugar but go ...Oh So well with fresh raspberries and drizzled with maple syrup!

Yes they are devine and the best part is eating them warm! Just when they have finished bobbling away in the pot, drain them, dust with icing sugar and pop one straight into your mouth....just delicious.  They are warm, fluffy, crispy and sweet...all in one little mouthful (... and a few more mouthfuls after that! 🙂 )

Sometimes the most basic of recipes are the ones that thrill the most.

To be honest they are fun to cook. Right in front of your eyes, as they bubble in the oil, they puff up to become wonderful warm, sweet balls of ricotta.

A big thanks Mari....and in Italian "Grazie" 🙂

Recipe for Gluten Free Ricotta Kisses - Baci di Ricotta

How to make Gluten Free Ricotta Kisses - Baci di Ricotta

• In a large bowl, add the ricotta and eggs beat until smooth.
• Add the gluten free plain flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat till it is a smooth batter.
• In a large saucepan add in the oil (about 2 cms high) and heat the oil. It is ready when you add a small spoonful of the mixture and the oil bubbles around the mixture.
