Chocolate Wontons Recipes

EASY CHOCOLATE WONTON PILLOWS

Steps:

• Add 3 inches of vegetable oil to a pot set over medium-low heat. Attach the deep-fry thermometer to the pot. Line a plate with paper towels and set it aside.
• Arrange 12 of the wonton wrappers on your work surface then place a square piece of chocolate in the center of each wonton.
• Brush around the edges of each of the wonton wrappers then place a second wonton wrapper on top and firmly seal together the edges with your fingers.
• Once the oil reaches 350°F, add one or two of the wontons to the pot. Cook the wontons, flipping them as needed, until they are golden brown on both sides.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the wontons from the pot to the paper towel-lined plate.
• Repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons, allowing the oil to return to 350°F between each batch.
• Dust the wontons with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE-FILLED WONTONS

Steps:

• Place confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Brush edges of each wonton wrapper with egg and place 1 teaspoon chocolate in center. Fold wrappers in half over chocolate and press edges firmly to seal. When oil is hot (an extra wonton wrapper should sizzle and float to top when added), fry wontons, 4 at a time, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes, flipping occasionally. With a slotted spoon, transfer wontons to bowl with sugar and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE BANANA WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix bananas, cheese, and chocolate ingredients. Fold into center of wonton wrapper sealing all edges with water.
• Fry at 350 degrees, approx 3 minutes.

CHOCOLATE WONTONS WITH GINGER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Make ice cream:
• Bring milk, cream, and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan. Remove from heat, then stir in ginger and let steep, covered, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Add milk mixture to yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking, then transfer custard to saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard is thick enough to coat back of spoon and registers 175 to 180°F on an instant-read thermometer (do not let boil).
• Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl, discarding solids, and chill, its surface covered with wax paper, until cold, about 1 1/2 hours. Freeze in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 4 hours.
• Make wontons:
• Bring cream and butter to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan. Pour hot cream over chocolate in a bowl and let stand 1 minute. Whisk ganache until smooth, then chill, covered, until firm, about 1 hour.
• Lightly brush 1 side of each of 6 wonton wrappers with beaten egg, then put 1 1/2 teaspoons chocolate ganache in center of each. Fold filled wontons in half to form triangles, pressing gently around filling to eliminate any air bubbles and sealing edges with more egg. (If there are any pockets of air, wontons may burst when fried.) Make 6 more wontons in same manner. Freeze filled wontons on a wax-paper-lined tray until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 365°F on deep-fat thermometer. Fry wontons, 3 at a time, turning once, until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 365°F between batches.) Dust with confectioners sugar and serve wontons warm with ice cream.
