Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 12

FILLING:
1 cup ricotta cheese, drained
1/3 cup granulated sugar
two large egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup raisins
2 ounces semi sweet dark chocolate, chopped
12 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed
one large egg, lightly beaten to glaze
1/4 cup demerara sugar (turbinado sugar)

Steps:

  • 1. preheat the oven to 400°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. For filling, process ricotta in a food processor fitted with a steel blade for a few seconds until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla. Mix the flour and cocoa and fold into the mixture. Stir in the raisins and chocolate. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Place the pastry on floured work surface. Dust the top with flour and roll out into a 20 x 15" rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Trim the edges to straighten. Cut the pastry into 12 squares each 5 inches.
  • 3. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each pastry square. Brush the egg around the edges of the pastry and fold one corner diagonally over to meet in the opposite corner. Press down on the pastry, joining the two layers. Place on the prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Brush the tops with egg and sprinkle with Demerara sugar. Bake until Golden Brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Makes 12 turnovers

Avoid this recipe at all costs! The chocolate and ricotta filling was gritty and the pastry was like cardboard. I threw the whole batch away.

I'm sorry, but these turnovers were just not good. The chocolate and ricotta filling was too runny and the pastry was too dry. I would not make this recipe again.

These turnovers were a complete disaster! The pastry was tough and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I would recommend using a different type of chocolate for the filling, as the one I used was a bit too bitter.

I had some trouble getting the pastry to seal properly, but the turnovers still tasted good.
