For the Ravioli:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon cocoa powder
-
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon salt

Oil for frying

Powdered sugar, for dusting
For the Chocolate Dipping Sauce:
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
-
Beat one egg with vanilla extract and add it to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead until smooth, then roll the dough out thinly on a floured surface.
-
Cut the dough into even squares (approximately 2.5 inches).
-
Place a small amount of mini marshmallows and chocolate chips in the center of half the squares.
-
Beat the second egg and use it to brush the edges of the filled squares. Top each with a second dough square and press the edges to seal tightly.

-
Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.

Variations

Nutty Crunch: Add chopped hazelnuts or pecans inside each ravioli for a bit of crunch.
-
Spicy Chocolate Sauce: Stir in a pinch of cayenne or cinnamon to the chocolate sauce for a warming twist.
-
Air Fry Option: Brush with oil and air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes for a lighter version.
-
Filled Dough Shortcut: Use pre-made wonton wrappers or pie dough for faster prep.
storage/reheating
These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
To reheat, bake or air fry at 350°F for 5–6 minutes until warm and crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it may make them soggy.
Freeze uncooked ravioli in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding an extra minute of cooking time.
