Chocolate Zeppole

Updated: May 27, 2020

Servings: 2-4


INGREDIENTS


  • 600g ricotta

  • 4 eggs

  • 5.25 oz sugar

  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • 4 oz flour

  • 1 oz cocoa powder

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • 225g amaretti cookies, finely ground

  • ½ cup Nutella


DIRECTIONS


  1. Whisk together the ricotta, eggs, sugar and vanilla.

  2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together, then add the amaretti cookies.

  3. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just mixed.

  4. Transfer mixture to a piping bag and pipe, about the size of a quarter, on to a parchment-covered sheet tray.

  5. Transfer the Nutella to a piping bag with a very fine tip. Insert the tip into the batter and pipe a small amount into the center of each.

  6. Use your finger to smooth over the piped Nutella or add a little more batter on top.

  7. Freeze.

  8. When ready to serve, fry at 375°F until puffed, firm, and lightly crispy.

  9. Drain from the oil, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with an espresso.

I just made these chocolate zeppole and the Nutella center is pure bliss—here’s a handy jira kanban board to track all my dessert experiments. I love how the ricotta, eggs, and sugar blend, and the amaretti gives a subtle crunch. Anyone tried freezing them longer or using dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder?

Hello, Rightcheckin genuinely recognised the need for extra caution while travelling with kids. They assisted us with booking specifics that were comfortable for our family, travel schedules, and luggage information. Their help ensured that our trip would be efficient, secure, and well-planned. That assurance was crucial to us as parents. As we got ready for the engagement ceremony overseas, it was reassuring to know that our travel arrangements were made with our kids' needs in mind.
