Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying pan or deep fryer
- Slotted Spoon
- Paper Towels
- Serving plate
Ingredients
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- 12 wonton wrappers defrosted (keep wrappers covered with a damp towel)
- 12 pieces or nuggets of chocolate choose your favorite type
- vegetable oil for frying
- confectioners sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Begin by gathering your chocolate pieces or nuggets. Use any type of chocolate you prefer, such as dark, milk, or white chocolate.
- Lay out your defrosted wonton wrappers on a clean surface, keeping them covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash for sealing the wontons.
- Place a piece of chocolate in the center of one wonton wrapper. Dab the edges with the egg wash using your finger or a pastry brush.
- Fold the wrapper over the chocolate to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, and optionally crimp the edges with a fork.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer over medium heat. Test readiness by dropping a small piece of wrapper in the oil; it should sizzle.
- Fry wontons a few at a time for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle fried wontons with confectioners sugar and serve warm. Enjoy the crispy exterior with a gooey chocolate center!
Notes
- Try different fillings like nut butter or fruit preserves for variety.
- Use spring roll wrappers if wonton wrappers are unavailable.
- For a healthier option, bake wontons at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes instead of frying.
- Make wontons ahead and freeze before frying; fry directly from frozen for convenience.
- Serve with ice cream, fresh berries, or drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
