Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Wonton wrappers | 3/4 package |
| Bananas | 12 ripe |
| Butter | 3 tbsp |
| Vanilla ice cream | 1 1/2 cups |
| Powdered sugar | to taste |
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oil: Begin by heating the oil in your fryer to the appropriate temperature for frying. If you donโt have a fryer, a deep pan with enough oil to submerge the wontons will work just as well.
-
Prepare the Wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each wrapper, making sure to leave a 1/2-inch border around the edges for sealing.
-
Add the Bananas: Peel the bananas and cut them into smaller pieces, placing them at the bottom edge of each wonton wrapper. Be sure to leave some room at the edges for folding.
-
Seal the Wontons: Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of butter to help them seal properly. Fold the sides of the wonton toward the center about 1/4 inch to ensure the filling stays inside.
-
Roll the Wontons: Starting from the bottom, gently roll up the wonton, ensuring the bananas are securely enclosed. Press the edges firmly to seal and avoid any leakage during frying.
-
Fry the Wontons: Carefully place the wrapped wontons into the hot oil, one at a time, and fry until they are golden and crisp, which should take about 3 minutes. Stir the wontons constantly to ensure even browning on all sides.
-
Drain and Cool: Once the wontons are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
-
Serve and Garnish: Lightly dust the fried wontons with powdered sugar. To serve, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of each bowl. Arrange two fried wontons next to the ice cream and drizzle with extra chocolate sauce for a decadent finish.
Tips:
- For a variation, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the melted chocolate for a warm, spicy twist that complements the bananas beautifully.
- Be sure not to overfill the wontons, as this can cause them to break open while frying.
- You can also experiment with different flavors of ice cream or top with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve these Fried Chocolate Bananas as an after-dinner treat, at a party, or even as a special dessert for a family gathering. The crispy texture of the wontons paired with the soft bananas and cool ice cream creates an irresistible dessert experience thatโs perfect for any occasion.
Enjoy the tropical flavors and creamy chocolate goodness in every bite!
