Cherry Dessert Wontons Recipes

CHERRY DESSERT WONTONS

Steps:

• To assemble wontons, place approximately 1-1/2 Tsp Cherry Pie Filling (2 cherries plus sauce) in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Moisten the edges of each wrapper, bring one corner up over the filling to the opposite corner at an angle so that two overlapping triangles are formed.
• Pull the two bottom corners of the folded triangle forward so that they meet one another and slighly overlap.
• Moisten one end and pinch the two ends firmly together; repeat.
• Pour the oil into a deep fryer and heat to 375 degrees F.
• Deep fry the wontons, 8 to 10 at a time for about two minutes or until crisp and golden.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Fried wontons can be kept warm for about one hour in a 250 degree F. oven or reheated for 5 minutes in a 450 degree F. oven.
• Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar can be sprinkled on the fried wontons, if desired.

CHERRY CREME PUFF WONTONS

Steps:

• NOTE: You will need a non-stick mini muffin pan.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread a little of the flour onto some wax paper and unfold one of the puff pastry sheets onto it. Roll the dough with a floured rolling pin until it is 12X12 inches.
• Using a knife, cut the pastry dough into 24 squares. Repeat this process with the other sheet of puff pastry for a total of 48 squares.
• Shape a square of puff pastry into each muffin tin slot and then place a cherry into the bottom of each. Careful to not let any puff pastry square touch another and keep the tops open for filling.
• In a large bowl, using electric beaters; whip the heavy whipping cream and then add the mascarpone cheese in chunks and whip to blend completely.
• In a little bowl; mix the strong coffee with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar until it forms a paste. Add to the mascarpone mix and blend well.
• With a spoon, stir in 1/4 cup pecan chips reserving the other 1/4 cup for garnish. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs. Place mascarpone mix in the fridge until ready to use.
• Bake the puff pastry squares with cherries for 13 minutes or until golden brown.
• Use a fork to gently remove puff pastry wontons from the muffin pan to a serving plate. (they will come right out, the fork is to keep from burning your fingers).
• Allow the puff pastry wontons to cool for 10 minutes.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of the mascarpone filling over each cherry. Sprinkle each wonton with a bit of the reserved pecan bits then serve!
