Fried Banana Chocolate Ravioli With Chocolate Rum Sauce Recipes

CHEESY CHOCOLATE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, carrot, shallot and salt. Cook, stirring often, until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, basil and Parmesan rind. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone. Remove and discard the Parmesan rind. Use an immersion blender to pulse to the desired texture. Keep warm.
• For the ravioli: Bring a large, shallow pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season well with salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Combine the ricotta, mozzarella, chocolate, salt and paprika in a medium bowl. Stir together with a rubber spatula until smooth. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with the egg wash and place another wrapper on top. Press the edges together, squeezing out any air bubbles form the center. Continue with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Add the ravioli to the boiling water in batches and cook until they float, about 2 minutes. Remove the ravioli to a plate with a slotted spoon or a spider. Serve 5 ravioli on each plate and spoon the sauce over the top. Finish with freshly grated Parmesan, as desired.

FRIED RAVIOLI WITH CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Mix the ricotta with the powdered sugar and salt, then stir in the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
• Place 6 wonton wrappers on the counter and place about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate-ricotta mixture in the center of each. Brush the beaten egg around the outside of the wrappers, then top with the remaining 6 wrappers, pressing out the air and ensuring the edges are sealed tightly.
• Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is 350 degrees F, add the ravioli and fry, flipping once halfway through, until they are golden and crisp on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• To serve, place the ravioli on a plate. Scatter over the strawberry slices and drizzle with the white chocolate. Top with the chopped hazelnuts.

FRIED CHOCOLATE AND BANANA RAVIOLI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the banana, sugar and walnuts. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each won ton wrapper. Put about a teaspoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread in the center of each wrapper and top with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the banana mixture. Fold 1 corner of each won ton wrapper diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Fill a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with about 3/4-inch oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.) Fry the ravioli, 2 or 3 at a time, turning occasionally, until golden, about 60 to 70 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Cool for 2 minutes and serve warm.
