I know many people are familar with sfingi and cassata for St. Joseph's but I'm looking for a ricotta turnover/tart deep fried with sugar on top. They are very small and have the chocolate chips in the ricotta cream on the inside.

Its the zeppole on a whole nother level. Incredible. There was a guy who owned a cafe that made them from scratch in the spring but closed up shop.

Please tell me someone has had these and know where they make them?

Brings back memories, haven't had them in 45+ years since my Nonna stopped making them. I'll have to get over to Ferdinando's. Thanks both for the question and answer!!!
