Colombian fritters with cheese and sugar sauce

Preparation steps

• First make a sugar sauce, you can make it a few days in advance. Put sugar, molasses, cinnamon, cloves and water in a bowl, then cook on low heat until the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes. until the liquid thickens slightly. Be careful not to boil, because as it thickens, bubbles will form.
• Remove the finished sauce from the heat and cool. Cold sauce store the dish with a lid. store in the refrigerator until use.
• For the chocolate sauce, heat the chocolate and cream over low heat until the chocolate has melted. Keep warm until use.
• Grate the cheese as finely as you can. Combine all ingredients together and knead a fine uniform dough as for bread. If it is too hard, add a tablespoon or two of milk.
• Grab the dough with a spoon and roll balls between your palms. Traditionally, larger ones are made around two full spoons of dough, I made smaller ones, the size of one teaspoon. Place the balls on a tray or plate until you have used up all the dough.
• Heat the frying oil, try it with a wooden spoon by dipping the handle of the spoon into the ear and when small bubbles start to form around the handle, then the oil is ready for frying. Gently dip 5-6 balls into the oil, taking care not to put them too much at once and thus cool the oil. The balls fry until golden yellow.
• Transfer the fried fritters to a paper towel to drain well.
• Serve fritters with sugar and chocolate sauce.
