How to prepare sweet ravioli with ricotta and chocolate chips

*****

Prepare the dough by putting the flour in a bowl, put the sugar in the center, then the softened butter cut into small pieces and the beaten egg, mix everything with a fork, add a pinch of salt, milk and finally the liquor.

Mix everything then pour onto a lightly floured work surface, compact everything and knead the dough with your hands for 5 minutes. It must be a smooth dough. We leave it to rest for 10 minutes covered with film.

In the meantime, prepare the ricotta filling: add the icing sugar and grated lemon zest to the sifted ricotta, mix with a whisk or with a fork and finally add the chocolate chips.

Take the dough, divide it into 3 or 4 parts and roll it out with a rolling pin or with the machine to roll out the sheets. Create rectangles on which you place piles of stuffing, fold the sheet lengthwise closing it like a book, cut the ravioli with a wheel or with a cookie cutter / pastry cutter. Squeeze firmly on the edges.You can also use the tines of a fork to close.

Put a pan on the stove and heat the peanut oil well, the oil will be hot enough when putting a piece of dough it will sizzle immediately creating a little foam. We fry a few pieces at a time and turn over after 1-2 minutes of cooking. They will be cooked as soon as they reach a nice golden color.

We add powdered sugar and serve.

N.B. For it colored powdered sugar just put a spoonful of powdered sugar in a food bag and add a little (the tip of a teaspoon) of liquid or gel red food coloring (to get the red or pink color), close the bag and put the bag between your hands, rub your palms. After a few moments the sugar will already take on a nice pink color.
