Introduction

Homemade whole milk ricotta, almond milk and a Doppio Passo Primitivo wine combine into a perfect cocoa-laden batter, perfect for cradling a Hershey's Kiss centre.

Ingredients

    1 cup pureed whole milk ricotta cheese
    5 oz (by weight) whole milk (about 9 tbsp)
    ½ cup dry red wine (I used Doppio Passo Botter Primitivo Salento IGT)
    ¾ cup sugar
    ¼ tsp salt
    1 tbsp vanilla extract
    ¼ cup canola oil
    ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    ¾ cup flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 tbsp baking powder
    12 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
    1 packet Aero hot chocolate

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine the cheese, milk, wine, sugar, salt, vanilla and oil.
Whisk in the cocoa powder until well combined.
Add the flours and baking powder, mixing until just combined.
Fill muffin cups ½ way full (about 1 ½ tbsp) and place a Kiss in the middle of each. Top with remaining batter.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the muffins spring back to the touch - the toothpick test won’t work for these!
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmoulding onto a wire rack to cool completely.
