Sweet (& Easy!) Wontons
May 23rd, 2012Okay, so you buy wontons for a dinner recipe, and you use 6 out of the 950 that come in the package. Wondering what to do with the other 944? The same thing you do with any other leftover… freeze them until you can figure out how to turn them into a dessert.
Wontons come in little squares or rectangles, and for this particular recipe I used the squares. The idea is to put a little bit of something yummy in the middle of the wonton, and fold the edges together (using egg white to seal- again, totally easy and foolproof) to make a cute little triangle. The most challenging part of this dessert (other than getting over the fact that they are fried in a little puddle of oil- yes, I know, I’m sorry about that) is the decision of what to stuff them with. The burden of choice in a baker’s pantry is a serious problem. A few ideas to get you going…
* Chocolate chips with a slice of banana
* Peanut butter with banana
* Chopped up chocolate bar of your choice (I used Ferrero Rocher this time around because The Husband made the grave mistake of leaving a few behind)
* Toasted chopped pecans with cinnamon chips (pictured here)
* Chopped apple with cinnamon and a dab of butter
* Graham cracker crumbs with a few blueberries and sugar
* Toasted sliced or slivered almonds with caramel sauce
* Cream cheese, sugar and raspberries
* I can’t stop, seriously…
* Chopped cookies (any kind will do)
* Help…
* Toasted chopped walnuts with honey
* Stopping now.
