Chocolate buns with ricotta made from puff pastry
Description
The baked goods are easy and quick to prepare. You can use any puff pastry you like for the rolls. With non-yeast dough they will turn out crisp, while yeast dough makes them more tender and soft. This recipe uses yeast puff pastry. Use chocolate spread and nuts to taste. If you don’t have ricotta on hand, replace it with soft cottage cheese.
