Pumpkin Spice Wontons
12 Servings
Wontons: Vanilla Almond Frosting:
Pureed Pumpkin 1 can Powdered Sugar 2 cups
Cream Cheese ½ cup Heavy Cream ¾ cup
Sugar ¼ cup Vanilla Extract 1 tsp
Cinnamon 2 tsp Almond Extract 1 tsp
Nutmeg (fresh) 2 tsp
Clove 1 tsp
Wonton wrapper 1 pkg
Peanut oil (for frying) 6 cups
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, and sugar. Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add 2 tbsp. of the filling to the center of the wonton wrapper. To fold, lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then take one corner and fold it across to make a small triangle shape. Press the edges together firmly to ensure the seal. In a medium size mixing bowl, wisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, almond extract, and vanilla extract. In a sauce pan, heat the peanut oil to between 350-375 degrees. Place the wonton in the oil and fry for 3-5 min per side. Remove the wonton from the oil and place on a cooling rack or paper towel. Drizzle on the vanilla almond frosting and serve warm.
