Diti Di Apostoli

These Diti Di Apostoli are a sophisticated twist on a classic breakfast, featuring paper-thin egg white crepes that are light, airy, and subtly savory. The real star is the luxurious filling: a creamy blend of fresh ricotta, dark cocoa, and a splash of amaretto, creating a rich, chocolate-almond flavor profile that feels indulgent yet refined. The sweetness is balanced by the earthiness of the cocoa and the aromatic kick of the liqueur. Perfect for a lazy weekend brunch or a special morning treat, these folded crepes are easy to assemble and impressive to serve. They offer a delightful contrast between the delicate texture of the whites and the dense, flavorful filling. A unique vegetarian dish that brings a touch of French elegance to your table without requiring hours in the kitchen. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

3/4 tablespoon Fresh ricotta
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Dry cocoa
1/4 cup Amaretto

Directions

1
In a small bowl, combine the fresh ricotta, sugar, dry cocoa, and amaretto, stirring until smooth and well-blended. Set aside.
2
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they become foamy and hold light, soft peaks.
3
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
4
Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of the beaten egg whites into the pan, tilting and swirling immediately to form a thin, crepe-like layer.
5
Cook for about 1 minute on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 20 seconds until just set.
6
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining egg whites to make 4 crepes.
7
Place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture in the center of each warm crepe.
8
Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling to create an omelet-like shape.
9
Sprinkle with powdered sugar or additional cocoa powder and serve immediately.
