Supplies:
  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Metal strainer
  • Serving bowls
Instructions
Dough
  1. In a large pot, heat 3-4 inches of cooking oil over medium-low heat. You can use any or a combination of grapeseed, coconut, or avocado oil. Feel free to add a splash of olive oil, but don't use it as your primary choice.
  2. Sift the flour and salt and place in a large glass bowl. Beat the eggs, and mix with the flour. At this point, your dough should be sticky. If not, add another egg.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured board until pliable. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Take small pieces of the dough and roll them into thin tubes. You want your tubes to be thinner than a pencil.
  5. Chop the dough tubes into ¼-½-inch long pieces.
  6. Deep fry the struffoli in heated oil until golden brown. Drain well in a metal strainer or place on a paper-towel-covered plate while cooling.
Topping
  1. While the struffoli is cooling, make the honey sauce. Mix the honey, coconut oil, liquid stevia, almonds, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Bring to a simmer over low heat.
  2. Immediately turn off the heat, and let cool until it thickens.
  3. Pour in the fried dough and mix until the sauce completely covers the struffoli.
  4. Immediately, serve the struffoli in individual bowls and top with chocolate. Enjoy!
