Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 1216 zeppole

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup Cream cheese cheese / mascarpone - (I used Tofutti vegan cream )
  • 2 tsps Baking Powder
  • 3 tbsps Sugar
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Egg water replacer - whisked in 3tbsp (or 1 egg, lightly whisked)
  • ¼ cup water Cold
  • 2 tsps Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Orange zest (optional)
  • ¼ cup Cinnamon sugar - (3tbsp granulated mixed with 2tsp cinnamon)

Chocolate Sauce:

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup chocolate Semi sweet chips

Instructions

  • Heat oil for deep frying in a saute pan or small wok.
  • In the meantime, in a small saucepan combine al the ingredients from the list above (flour to orange zest) and cook on low flame until a smooth batter forms. This takes about 2~3 minutes. Turn off the heat and wait till the oil is hot enough to start frying.
  • Once oil is hot, add the batter by spoonfuls and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2~3 minutes per side. Make sure that the flame is not too high, then the outside will get too dark and the inside will be uncooked.
  • Remove onto paper towel lined plate. Toss the warm zeppole in cinnamon sugar and enjoy right away with chocolate sauce . These taste best when served the same day.
  • Chocolate Sauce: Warm cream in a small saucepan until bubbles start to form on the edges.
  • Turn off the heat and add the chocolate chips. Whisk until the chips are melted and the sauce is smooth.
