| Canola oil, for frying 1 package (about 36) square wonton wrappers, cut diagonally in half 2 cups whole milk ricotta 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting 3 tablespoons orange liqueur 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped 1/2 orange, zested | |
| Fill a Dutch oven one-third full with oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the wontons in one layer, not overcrowding the pot. Flip the wontons once or twice until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the wontons with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a large wire rack set over a shallow pan. Repeat until all the wontons are fried. Mix the ricotta, sugar and liqueur until well combined in a large bowl. Whip the cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, using a hand mixer. Fold the whipped cream and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips gently into the ricotta mixture. Add the ricotta-cream mixture to a medium dip bowl or 8-by-8-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Starting from the left side of bowl, make a row, from top to bottom, of pistachios, followed by a row of the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips, then the cherries. Grate fresh orange zest over the bowl and plate the wonton chips on the side. Dust the chips with sugar and serve. | |
