Chocolate-Banana Wontons


Yes, i know... another dessert! But I can't help it. I made this recently and it was a big hit. Again, its not super low on calories but nothing over the top either. And as promised, super easy to make!

Makes: 6

Ingredients:

18 square wonton wrappers
1 banana, diced
5-6 tablespoons chocolate bits (I used crumbled Flake, but you can use whichever you have on hand or even chocolate chips)
1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for sprinkling/dusting)

Preheat over to 350 F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray (to cut down on the oil/spray, use parchment or wax paper and then lightly coat with spray).

In a bowl, combine bananas and chocolate.

Take 3 wonton wrappers and place on top of each other on a flat surface. Drop 1 tsp of the banana-chocolate mixture in the middle of the wrappers. Dip your finger in water, moisten the edges of the square and fold over to form a triangle. Then, press to seal. Make 5 more such triangles.

Place the wontons on the baking sheet and bake till golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Dust powdered sugar over wontons before serving warm so that the chocolate inside is still gooey.

Serving suggestion: I served these with strawberries and bananas on the side. I also cooked up a sauce with cut up strawberries and bananas with a little water and sugar and added a splash of cream after it cooled (but it's just as great without it).

Indulge! :)

  2. So... in Karachi would wanton wrappers translate as samosay ki patti?

  3. Haha...not really Hiba...wonton wrappers are made a bit differently- they have flour instead of 'atta' and have an egg or so in the dough. Im quite sure that they will be available to you in Karachi (esp at Agha's). If you do want the recipe for homemade ones, i'd be happy to give it. My advice, if you do make them at home, is to use whole wheat flour instead of regular flour because those are better carbs to have! :)
