Instructions
 

For The Crust

  • 1. Cut the cold butter into cubes.
  • 2. In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar.
  • 3. Add the cubed butter and rub with your palms to incorporate the butter into the flour.
  • 4. Take the flour butter mixture in your hands and lift it up the bowl and rub. This way you get air inside the mixture and the crust will be flaky.
  • 5. Leave some pea sized chunks of butter while rubbing.
  • 6. Add cold water and bring the dough together. Let the dough be crumbly and not smooth.
  • 7. Divide it into two parts with one portion larger than the other.
  • 8. Place them into cling wraps, cover and refrigerate until firm.

For The Filling

  • 1. In a pan, mix together milk and sugar.
  • 2. Bring it to boil.
  • 3. Add semolina in a continuous stream keepin flame low.
  • 4. Keep on stirring until the mixture becomes very thick and leaves the sides of the pan.
  • 5. Pour this on a plate and allow it to cool completely.
  • 6. In a jar of food processor, take ricotta, cooled semolina mixture, zest of one orange and cream. Run the processor until smooth.
  • 7. Now remove the blade, add vanilla essence, chocolate chips and tutti frutti and mix well.
  • 8. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate.

Assembling

  • Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll a portion into a rough rectangle.
  • Place a ball of filling on the lower half.
  • Bring the side of rectangle over the filling and press it.
  • With a circular cutter, cut out a circle. The remaining dough from all the circles will make one more frolle.
  • Arrange on a baking tray and refrigerate for 2 hours. I had some extra pie crust, so another 3..
  • After baking it until golden, dust with icing sugar.
  • Enjoy!!!!
