If you're a fan of rice pudding, you will likely love this recipe for rice fritters. From the Food52 blog, the Tuscan desserts from Emiko Davies are sugar-covered fluffy fried fritters made out of balls of rice pudding. According to the Italian expat food blogger, in Tuscany it's said that even a slipper tastes good deep fried and it would appear these Tuscan rice fritters are no exception.
The fritelle de riso is typically associated in Italy with holidays like Father's Day. However, if you are looking to change up your baked goods game, why not give them a go? As with most deep fried foods, the dessert is best enjoyed fresh, hot and crispy.
