Before I made this recipe I read the reviews; something I always do because Food Network is notorious for mistakes in the posted recipes.

For the dipping sauce I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup and for the Ravioli I cut to 1 tbsp.

And, I used Splenda Blend; never use sugar in my baking anymore since I found Splenda Blend (not regular Splenda, but Splenda Blend.

Its a fried dumpling creme cycle , The sauce if slightly over cooked turns to a honey consistency!

The sauce for the ravioli was very sweet and delicious but it got hard as a rock when it cooled. There was no problem with it, I just heated it back up in the microwave. I just thought that was a little strange. Also never cook this on teh same night as the potato and zucchini pancake. I did that and it was very stressful but everything turned out fine.

I really liked this recipe and it's versatile. You can substitute the orange and mint for pretty much anything you want. The first time I made this I followed the instructions exactly and found the mint to be a little overpowering so the second time I made them I used fresh raspberries in one batch and fresh strawberries in another batch with no orange and added one piece of chocolate to each wrapper. They turned out to be quite delicious!

I also had an issue with the simple syrup crystallizing relatively fast. After doing some research online I found out that the juice from the orange is not enough to match the sugar to make it a true simple syrup. I found that by adding water to the orange juice to make it 1 c so that the sugar/water is a 1:1 ratio made the dipping sauce less sweet and kept it from crystallizing. I also recommend taking the sugar off the heat as soon as it boils to keep from boiling off more water.

These were very easy to make and very delicious! I actually used cream cheese instead of ricotta because I didn't think my kids would eat them otherwise. They were great! Like fried cheesecakes.

If the food is too sweet, add less sugar. DO NOT use artificial sweeteners; they are very unhealthy and can cause cancer. My friend, a sales rep for one of the companies that produces a sweetener, was advised not to use the product, by one of the execs, what does that tell you... There are too many people and children drinking these chemicals in sodas, it is not good adding them to food also.

I was excited to make this for my family and found it easy to make. The first bite was good but as my husband and I kept eating it.... the flavors were to strong and very sugary. I was glad my 4 year old enjoyed eating them so I didn't have to throw out so many.

this sounds and looks like a great recipe. is this the type of recipe that would last? what i mean is, if i fried a bunch of them and served them room temperature with room temperature sauce would they still be fine or is it best to have them fresh out of the frier?

I love this recipe. Its very sweet but the mint helps cut some of the sweetness. You only need a little bit of the dipping sauce or else it could be too sweet.
