SWEET WONTONS

July 16, 2014

You can fill wontons with literally anything. Why not go for something sweet once in a while. I like to mix the fruit with cream cheese and drizzle chocolate on top. But you can also just mix the fruit with Nutella for example. The recipe works great with fruits like bananas. If you choose fruits with more liquid [e.g. strawberries] you may need to make the cream cheese mixture a bit dryer – otherwise it will run out of the wonton when baking.
