Ingredients

Orange Zeppole:

1 stick butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 eggs

1 tablespoon orange zest

Vegetable oil, for frying

Orange Sugar:

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/2 cup sugar

Chocolate Sauce:

3/4 cup cream

1 cup (8 ounces) bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions

For the Orange Zeppole: In a medium saucepan combine the butter, salt, sugar, and water over medium heat.

Bring to a boil.

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the flour.

Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously until the mixture forms a ball, about 4 minutes.

Transfer to a medium bowl.

Using an electric hand mixer on low speed, add eggs, 1 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 the machine until the mixture is blended. Set the sugar into a wide and shallow dish. 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 degrees F.

Using a small ice-cream scoop or 2 small spoons, carefully drop about a tablespoon of the dough into the hot oil.

Turn the zeppole once or twice, cooking until golden and puffed up, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the cooked zeppole to the dish with the Orange Sugar.

Roll to coat in the sugar.

Continue frying the remaining dough.

For the Chocolate Sauce: Heat the cream in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling.

Pour cream over the chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the Chocolate Sauce into a dipping dish.

Serve the zeppole alongside the Chocolate Sauce for dipping.
