Ingredients
  • 3 ounce White chocolate bars
Directions
  1. 1
    Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth, then allow it to cool slightly.
  2. 2
    Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and sugar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the melted white chocolate and whipped cream.
  3. 3
    Roll out pasta dough on a floured surface to a thin sheet, approximately 1/16 inch thick.
  4. 4
    Spoon small dollops of the white chocolate mousse filling onto one half of the pasta sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. 5
    Brush the edges of the dough with water and cover with the second sheet of pasta, pressing firmly around the filling to seal out air.
  6. 6
    Cut into individual squares or circles using a ravioli cutter or knife, ensuring the edges are well-sealed.
  7. 7
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface.
  8. 8
    Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon and toss gently with butter, cinnamon, and sugar.
  9. 9
    Plate immediately and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and toasted hazelnuts.

Note

For best results, use fresh pasta dough rather than dried noodles to ensure a tender texture that holds the delicate filling.

If making ahead, you can freeze the uncooked ravioli on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag; add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.

Ensure the mousse filling is thick enough to prevent leaking during sealing; chill the mixture for 30 minutes before assembling if necessary.

Alternative fillings can include mascarpone cheese or a fruit curd, adjusted for sweetness to complement the white chocolate.

Serve with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of raspberry sauce for added visual appeal and flavor contrast.
