Directions
Step 1First, make the chocolate sauce. Melt the chocolate hazelnut spread and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Once combined and smooth, set bowl aside.
Step 2For the doughnuts, in a medium bowl, whisk the ricotta, vanilla, egg and sugar until combined. Sift over the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Using a large metal spoon fold to combine.
Step 3Pour oil into a medium, heavy-based, deep pan so that it’s 5cm deep. Heat oil to 180°C. Meanwhile, line a baking tray with kitchen paper.
Step 4Carefully drop heaped tsps of the dough into the hot oil (you should have about 10 doughnuts). Fry for 3min, turning occasionally, or until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer on to the kitchen paper to drain.
Step 5Transfer to a board or platter, dust with icing sugar and serve with the chocolate sauce.
