Calories: 717kcal
Equipment
- Wide saucepan
- Food mixer or bowl
- Small saucepan
- Large bowl
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying
- 250 g ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 60 g caster sugar
- 2 - 3 tbsp caster sugar for dusting
- 125 g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Few drops of vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Zest of 1 orange
For the chilli chocolate dipping sauce:
- 50 g dark chocolate
- 30 g butter
- 100 ml double cream
- 100 g caster sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp chipotle paste
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Method
- Pour a 6–8cm (2½–3½ inch) depth of vegetable oil into a wide saucepan and place over a medium–high heat until it reaches 180°C/350°F.
- Put the ricotta into a food mixer or bowl and add the eggs, caster sugar, flour, baking powder and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is combined.
- Using two clean tablespoons, form the dough into eight walnut-sized balls.
- Now make the dipping sauce: break the chocolate into small pieces and put into a small saucepan. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, then place over a low–medium heat and allow everything to melt, stirring regularly. Do not let it get too hot or the sauce will split.
- When the oil is up to temperature, add half the dough balls to the pan and cook for two to three minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper (paper towel). Cook the remaining balls in the same way.
- Meanwhile, put the dusting sugar and cinnamon into a large bowl and mix together. Add the doughnuts and toss to coat.
- Transfer them to a serving dish, grate over the orange zest and serve with the warm chocolate sauce.
