Ingredients
12 Gefen square wonton wrappers, defrosted
1/4 cup raspberry jam
2/3 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar, for garnish
Directions
Lay wonton wrappers out on a large flat surface. Place 1 teaspoon jam in the center of each wrapper, followed by 1 tablespoon of chocolate. Brush the edges of each wrapper with egg wash. Fold top and bottom corners together to create a triangle, pressing tightly to seal. Then take left and right sides and press together at the top to make a purse and seal tightly.
Heat oil over medium high heat to 350 F.
Fry wontons in hot oil for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. If wontons begin to leak filling, remove and finish by browning in the broiler for a few minutes.
Drain fried wontons on paper towels and dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving.
