Makes:15 servings

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese, drained
  • 3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup semisweet miniature chocolate chips or 1/2 cup chopped roasted pistachios
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 30 ( 3- x 3- inch) square wonton wrappers
  • Chocolate Syrup (such as Torani)

Directions

Prep:40 mCook:10 mReady:1 h 20 m
  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Combine ricotta, powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt in a food processor and process until smooth and combined. Transfer to a large bowl and fold in chocolate chips or pistachios. Transfer to the freezer, uncovered, to cool for about 20 minutes or until firm.
  3. Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot; heat oil over medium-high to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  4. Prepare a small bowl of water. On a clean work surface, spoon about 2 heaping teaspoons of cream cheese mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper, and using a clean finger, wet all sides of the wonton. Fold opposite corners on the diagonal and bring in the other two sides to make a pouch or envelope. Press gently to seal all edges, ensuring there are no gaps.
  5. Working in batches, adjusting heat as needed, fry rangoons until golden brown, about 2 minutes, gently stirring as needed to cook all sides.
  6. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm, drizzled with chocolate syrup. Dust with powdered sugar.
