List of Ingredients
Premade pizza dough purchased at grocery store or local pizzeria
2 cups superfine sugar
2 containers whole milk ricotta (15-ounce)
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate melted in microwave
or double boiler
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 Pinch salt
2 egg whites beaten until frothyRecipe
Preheat pizza stone in 450 degree F oven for at least 30 minutes. If not using a pizza stone, use a flat sided or upside-down cookie sheet. Whisk sugar into ricotta until fully blended. Add melted chocolate and whisk until ricotta is chocolate colored. Add vanilla and pinch of salt, to taste.
On a lightly floured pizza peel or board, roll pizza dough out into 4 (12-inch) rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Spoon 1 cup of chocolate filling into center of each round. Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg white and fold each round in 1/2. Fold edges over as you would a piecrust and press to seal completely. Brush off excess flour from dough, brush with more of the egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Slide chocolate calzone onto preheated pizza stone and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serves 4.
