Ingredients

200 g all-purpose flour
80 g unsweetened cocoa powder
100 g granulated sugar
200 g shelled pistachios, finely ground
50 g unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
200 ml whole milk
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
50 g sesame seeds (for crunch, toasted)
Chocolate sauce (for drizzling) optional
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream optional

Equipment

Heatproof mixing bowl
Deep frying pot
Slotted spoon
20 cm (8 inch) square baking tray
Chef's knife
Candy thermometer (for precise oil temperature)

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to blend the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and whole milk until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
While resting, heat oil in a deep frying pot over medium heat, about 180°C (350°F).
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, allowing for space between fritters. Fry until golden brown, approximately 3–4 minutes per side, or until they puff up.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters from the oil and let them drain on a baking tray lined with paper towels.
While still warm, sprinkle the fritters with toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.
Serve warm, garnished with your choice of drizzled chocolate or whipped cream.
