Ingredients
1 cup (145 g) gluten-free flour with wheat starch (or all-purpose flour)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
7 Tbsp granulated sugar, divided
4 Tbsp salted butter, frozen
1 large egg
2 Tbsp water
8 oz ricotta impastata or well-drained whole-milk ricotta
6 oz whole-milk ricotta
1/2 tsp cinnamon extract
1/3 cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips
Vegetable oil, for frying (about 3 cups)
Instructions
- Whisk the gluten-free flour, ground cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp sugar in a large bowl.
- Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture and toss to coat.
- Make a well in the center and add the egg. Whisk lightly, then add the water and mix until a dough forms. Knead until smooth.
- Shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic, and freeze for 15–30 minutes.
- Prepare the dip: In a stand mixer, beat ricotta impastata, whole-milk ricotta, cinnamon extract, and remaining sugar until creamy. Fold in mini chocolate chips and refrigerate.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet to 350–370°F.
- Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/16–1/8 inch thick. Poke all over with a fork and cut into 1½–2 inch diamonds.
- Fry dough pieces for 1–2 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels and cool completely.
- Serve cooled chips with chilled ricotta dip.
Notes
Dust chips with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Add orange zest or chopped pistachios to the dip for variation.
Air-fry or bake the chips for a lighter version.
