Recipe

Cannoli Dessert Calzone

  • Yield: 1 large calzone, serving 2 to 3
[1]

Ingredients

  • 1/2 recipe pizza dough, recipe follows [2]
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

  • Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick. In a bowl, combine mascarpone, ricotta, confectioners' sugar, chocolate chips, and toasted walnuts. Place cheese filling over half of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Seal the edges well by pinching the dough together.
  • Carefully drop into deep fryer and fry until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Alternately, preheat oven to 500 degrees F. If you have one, place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven.
  • Dust pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Place rolled out dough on peel. Top with filling and seal, as directed above. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until dough is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
