| 1. In a large bowl, beat the ricotta with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. | 2. Lightly beat the egg yolks in a small bowl and stir in to the ricotta along with the rum, vanilla and maple syrup. | 3. Sift together the flour and baking powder and pour into the ricotta mixture. | 4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until the peaks are stiff but not dry; fold gently and thoroughly into the batter. | 5. Heat 3-4 inches of peanut oil in a medium saucepan over just a little higher than medium heat. | 6. When hot, but not smoking, form the fritters by dropping scant dessert spoons of the batter into the oil. | 7. Cook until golden brown, turning and cooking on each side, about five minutes. | 8. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. | 9. Serve warm with warm chocolate spice sauce and to make it even more decadent - powdered sugar! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
