Here I am going to give the filling for the turnovers, but I used the same dough featured on Wednesday. These will probably cook for just a little less time, and I made 12 turnovers out of this. I found the recipe for the chocolate filling in my The Golden Book of Chocolate cookbook, and we really liked it, everyone giving them a perfect 10. Each turnover is 273 calories, and here is the filling:
1 c ricotta cheese
1/3 c sugar
2 egg yolks
1 T vanilla
2 T flour
1 T cocoa powder
2 T craisins (we used blueberry, because that's what I had, but I think cherry would've been better)
4 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
Mix together the ricotta, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, flour and cocoa powder in a food processor. Fold in the craisins and the chocolate chips. Fill the turnovers, fold them, then egg wash and sprinkle with sugar, vent the pastries, then bake in a 350 degree oven, checking at around 30 minutes. Cool and then serve.
Both the chocolate and apple look really amazing. Part of me is afraid to try to make the pastry. Love mom
