Scarlett’s Pizza Night Dessert
These are delicious!!! I learned how to make the Scarlettas in Rome. This is my version! I named them Scarlettas after our precious little granddaughter who only lived 90 minutes.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the vanilla sugar: In a pie plate mix the sugar and vanilla and set aside.
Place the cocoa in a sifter or small sieve and set over a small bowl. Set aside.
Mix the Nutella and olive oil together in a small bowl and set aside.
Pinch off enough dough to measure 1/4 cup. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough into a rope 1 inch thick. Take a sharp knife and cut 1-inch lengths. You will have ten 1-inch length pieces. Roll each piece into a skinny rope and tie in a knot. Set on the counter to rise a little bit as you roll and tie each Scarlett.
Heat oil (1 inch deep) over medium heat until the oil is hot enough to fry the dough quickly. Test the oil with a piece of extra dough before frying.
When the oil is ready place the Scarlett's in the frying pan and fry, turning each one with tongs, over and over until light brown. Quickly remove to a paper towel.
As soon as you can touch them, roll all 10 of them in the vanilla sugar mixture. Place them on a plate and sift the cocoa lightly over top. Drizzle a little bit of Nutella on top the cocoa.
Place on a plate and serve warm. These are great at room temperature too! Serve as dessert for Pizza Night.
