~ricotta Dumpling with Raspberry Sauce~

Every now and then when you’re cooking you need a no brainer~~a recipe that’s easy to do, has some shortcuts, and gives you the satisfaction you’re looking for in a flash! Well, if you’ve hankerin’ for something warm, gooey, subtly sweet and boholicious, then this ‘Ricotta Dumpling with Raspberry Sauce’ will fill the bill.

Makes: 8

Preheat oven to 325

What you need & What you do:

1 refrigerated package of crescent rolls (8 crescents)

3/4 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup mascarpone cheese

3 tbl heavy cream

1 vanilla bean

1/4 cup powdered sugar (plus more for garnish dusting)

2 tbl butter

1/2 pint raspberries

1/4 cup raspberry jam

Combine the ricotta, mascarpone, cream, vanilla bean (inside scraped for paste) and powdered sugar in a bowl and blend together.

Roll out the each crescent roll and stretch a little. Dollop some of the mixture into the center, then pull up opposite sides and make a pouch/dumpling. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake in a preheated 325 oven about 12 minutes or until golden brown, and when done, remove and dust with powdered sugar. Meanwhile make the raspberry sauce by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the raspberries and jam and blend cooking about 5-7 minutes. Spoon over the dumplings when serving.

(Note: If there is extra filling, put a dollop on the plate and then place the dumpling on top~~you can never have too much yummy filling!)
