Ingredients
- Banana-Stuffed Fried Wonton
-
3
ripe bananas - peeled and diced
-
1/4 cup
sugar
-
1 teaspoon
cornstarch
-
1/8 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon
fresh lemon juice
-
wonton wrappers
-
48 ounces
canola oil - for frying
-
1 cup
confectionary sugar
- Chocolate drizzle
-
8 ounces
semisweet chocolate chips
-
2 tablespoons
whole milk or heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon
butter
Directions
-
Combine the diced bananas, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a medium-sized pot. Turn on the stovetop to medium and stir constantly for five to seven minutes. We're just heating these bananas through, we're not trying to caramelize them.
-
Turn off the heat and set aside.
-
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot heat oil to 350 degrees.
-
While the oil is heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare a "wonton wrapping" station and a small bowl of water. Taking a wonton wrap and dollop 1 teaspoon of banana mixture in the center. You don't want to overfill these so be careful with the first few you create.
-
Wet you finger in the water and trace the two adjacent sides of the wonton. Fold the wonton in half into a triangle. Dab the two long corners of the triangle in water and squeeze together. Place the wonton on the baking sheet and make sure to keep covered with a damp tea towel as you prepare the additional wontons.
-
When the oil is ready, slowly place five or six wontons into the pot and let fry until golden. You may need to rotate or spin them in the oil so each side equally fries. Mine took about a minute to a minute-and-a-half each. Note: you don't want to place too many of them into the oil at one time or it will lower the temperature of the fryer. When the wonton is at the desired color, remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
-
Let cool completely (about ten minutes). Transfer to your final presentation plate and drizzle the plate with the following chocolate.
-
Chocolate: Heat (in either a microwave or stovetop) chocolate and butter until melted. Add the milk or heavy cream and stir the mixture vigorously until smooth.
-
Sprinkle with confectionary sugar. You can never have too much. These are best served in the moment so they maintain their crunch.
