This Sweet Ricotta Easter Calzone is a delightful treat that's perfect for Easter or any time of year. It's filled with creamy ricotta cheese, sweetened with sugar and vanilla, and accented with chocolate chips and candied fruit. A beautiful and delicious addition to your dessert table!
Ingredients: 1 pound pizza dough. 1 cup ricotta cheese. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. 1/4 cup candied fruit optional. 1 egg, beaten for egg wash. Powdered sugar, for dusting.
Instructions: Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C. Use floured paper to make a big circle or oval shape out of the pizza dough. It should be about 1/4 inch thick. Put ricotta cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a bowl and mix them together. Combine well. The ricotta mixture should be spread out evenly over half of the rolled-out dough, leaving some space around the edges. If you're using them, sprinkle mini chocolate chips and candied fruit on top of the ricotta mixture. To make a half-moon shape, fold the other half of the dough over the filling. To seal, press the edges together. For a golden finish, brush the egg wash over the top of the calzone. Put the calzone on a baking sheet that has parchment paper on it. The calzone should be baked in a hot oven for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until it turns golden brown and puffs up. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit. Before you serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut your Sweet Ricotta Easter Calzone in half and enjoy!
