Ricotta and Chocolate-Hazelnut Calzones

• 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
• 8 ounces frozen strawberries, thawed
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella), at room temperature
• 3 tablespoons whipping cream, at room temperature
• 6 (2-ounce) pieces homemade or purchased pizza dough, cold
• 1 large egg, beaten to blend

1. Blend the ricotta, mascarpone, egg yolk, and powdered sugar in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
2. Transfer the ricotta mixture to a small bowl, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, blend the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a clean food processor until smooth.
4. Transfer the strawberry sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
5. Whisk the chocolate-hazelnut spread and cream in a medium bowl to blend.
6. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
7. Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Roll out each piece of pizza dough into a 7-inch-diameter round.
9. Spoon the ricotta mixture atop the center of the lower half of each pizza dough.
10. Spoon the chocolate-hazelnut mixture atop the cheese mixture.
11. Brush the lower edges of the dough with egg wash.
12. Fold the plain dough halves over the filling, forming half circles.

14. Using a pastry wheel, trim the edges.
