Chocolate Chip Wontons - compliments of Wonton Warrior
Wonton Warrior has been a busy person, dictating to us, what kind of wontons to make and what other tricks there are for the use of wontons. For example, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and sugar and bake and you have delicate cookies.
When he said the word, chocolate, both Bizzy and I jumped for joy. Chocolate can't be beat. I found this recipe on Yummily and it has the most endearing name - Ridiculously Easy 4-Ingredient Chocolate Chip Wontons. I made half the recipe and should have made more.
I served these at the family barbecue and the first reaction of people was "Chocolate in a wonton?" That makes sense since, wontons are more often found in soup than as a dessert. I made them with Tofutti cream cheese but I recommend that you use real cream cheese.
Here are your four ingredients.
Method:
Heat oil in pot or deep sided skillet.
Combine cream cheese and sugar and beat until smooth. (Since I use whipped cream cheese, it is easy to do and I do it by hand. The Tofutti cream cheese also needed no beaters.) Stir in chocolate chips.
Lay out about 6 wontons and put a tablespoon of mixture in the middle of each wrapper. (For the round wontons, that is too much and it would ooze out. I used more like a teaspoon.)
Wet edges of wontons with water and seal tightly. Do a good job here.
Drop wontons into the hot oil (very carefully) and cook for about a minute until both sides are golden. Drain on paper towels.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!
