Raviolis are not just for cheese and sauce anymore. Although this Italian inspired pasta is most commonly known to be filled with meat or cheese, there are so many other options to consider.
Bakers from around the world have created ravioli inspired desserts that will pair perfectly with any meal. Below are some of our favorite recipes to inspire you.
Chocolate Ravioli with Raspberry Sauce
This looks amazing! Bella’limento brings us a chocolate ravioli recipe that is not only stunning, but we bet is pretty darn amazing tasting. A basic pasta dough with some cocoa powder create that delicious outer shell. The inside? Well, you can make it your own!
But this recipe calls for macarpone, ricotta, sugar and vanilla extract. Some boozy raspberry sauce and a hazelnut topping make this a dessert your family will want all the time.
Ravioli Dolce
This recipe from Curious Cuisiniere offers a bit of crispy and soft and gooey making it a perfect after dinner treat. These sweet raviolis are filled with ricotta, lemon zest, cinnamon, egg, sugar, and of course chocolate chips.
While this recipe does call for frying, baking is an option as well. Powdered sugar on top when they are done creates a perfect flavor! Add a dipping sauce for added sweetness everyone will love.
Pumpkin Pie Ravioli
This “pie-sta” recipe coms from Arts and Crackers, not just the name, but the recipe too. These raviolis are like mini pumpkin pies all wrapped in a delicious shell. This recipe offers a bit of a shortcut, the crust is actually pre-made pie dough, not homemade.
The center is a mix of eggs, sugar, pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie filling, evaporated milk and sugar. Drizzle some whipped cream, ice cream and even walnuts for the real pumpkin pie feel.
Nutella Heart Ravioli
A great afternoon snack or after dinner sweet from Recipe Girl. A unique play on raviolis using wonton wrappers as the outer shell. The inside is filled with Nutella then cooked in oil for a crispy yet gooey filled treat. Sprinkle with some powdered sugar or add a raspberry dipping sauce to take it to the next level.
Sweet Fig Ravioli
This sugar-free ravioli from La Cucina Italiana offers an escalated flavor that makes a delectable dessert for any dinner. Homemade dough with a creamy ricotta and fig jam center all baked to crispy goodness.
This recipe only needs a few ingredients and tools and will be ready in under an hour for those last minute dessert needs.
Don’t be limited by what is listed here! Use your imagination for the fillings and even the shell. Ravioli fillings can be various fruits, chocolates, meringues and more. Let your creativity explore the options! Follow us on MSN for more creative dessert ideas!
