Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Slowly add the milk while stirring until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, mini chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough.
6. Place a small spoonful of the ricotta cheese mixture onto the center of each dough circle.
7. Fold the dough circle in half to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the ravioli.
8. In a saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
9. Carefully place the sealed ravioli into the simmering cinnamon syrup and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface.
10. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ravioli onto a serving plate. Drizzle the remaining cinnamon syrup over the ravioli.
11. Dust the Sweet Ravioli Dolci with powdered sugar and serve warm.
