Sweet Won Tons

Submitted by Fairy Nuff

"Sweet dessert won tons - very quick and easy. Zaar World Tour 2005."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 30 won tons
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 125 g dates (pitted and chopped)
• 2 bananas (finely chopped)
• 1⁄2 cup sliced almonds (slightly crushed)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 60 wonton wrappers
• oil (for deep frying)
• 2 tablespoons icing sugar (to dust)

directions

1. Mix the dates, bananas, almonds and cinnamon.
2. Place a heaped teaspoon of the fruit mixture in the centre of a won ton wrapper. Brush the edges lightly with water.
3. Cover with another won ton wrapper at an angle, so that the wrappers make a star shape.
4. Press with your fingers as close to the fruit filling as possible to release any trapped air and to seal the won ton.
5. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. To make the job quicker have a "production line" of ten or so won tons lined up that you fill, cover and seal.
6. Put the filled won tons on a tray lined with baking paper. Make sure they don't touch as they stick to each other.
7. Heat oil in a large pan or wok until moderately hot. Add the won tons in small batches and fry for 2 minutes or until crisp and golden.
8. Drain on paper towels.
9. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

I decided to make these using dates and walnuts and no bananas. Splendid dessert with vanilla ice cream on the side!

Easy to make. I made a batch for my 2 monday classes that both had test. Instead of dates, I used coconut flakes because it sounded like it would taste just as good. I didn't know dates were so $$$. I also shaped mine to have some fun with it. Vert good and unique.

Had great fun making these GREAT TASTING TREATS! The flavor combo of date, banana & almonds (much less the cinnamon) was enough to put smiles on every guest's face! An OUTSTANDING TREAT, & a great recipe to keep around! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Special Recipe Swap #19]

These have sat in my cookbook since last year's tour 2005. What a shame I waited so long. I love won tons fried with different filling and these were very exceptional.

These were so good! The banana mixture was perfect. They were wonderful hot, as the sweet filling just oozed out. Great recipe!
