directions

  • For the chocolate sauce, heat the cream in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Combine the cream and chocolate into a heat proof bowl and stir until smooth.
  • For the orange zeppole, combine the butter, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a bowl over medium heat.
  • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the flour.
  • Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture forms a ball, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer the flour mixture to a medium bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on low speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg completely before adding the next.
  • Add the orange zest and beat until smooth. Set aside.
  • For the orange sugar, place the orange zest and sugar in a food processor.
  • Pulse until the mixture is blended. Transfer the sugar to a shallow dish and set aside.
  • Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep fry thermometer registers 350*F.
  • Using 2 small spoons, spoon out some dough and roll into balls.
  • Drop 4 balls in the oil at a time and cook for about 5 minutes, until golden and puffed.
  • Take the zeppoles out and roll in the orange sugar, then transfer to a plate.
  • Reheat the chocolate dipping sauce if necessary, and serve in a small bowl with the zeppoles.

  1. Ah. awesomeness... So fluffy and delish, their texture was (it's all gone now) like choux pastry, not doughy and stiff at all!
