Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 oz dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 20 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups neutral frying oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting
- 1 sprig optional garnish: fresh mint leaves
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dark chocolate chips, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of the chocolate and cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Fold the wrapper diagonally over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets around the filling.
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling, placing completed wontons on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Heat the neutral frying oil in a deep saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test with a small piece of wonton wrapper – it should sizzle and turn golden in about 15-20 seconds.
Fry the wontons in small batches, carefully lowering them into the hot oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Allow the wontons to cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. These wontons are best enjoyed immediately after cooking!
