Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
  • 1 generous tablespoon orange marmalade
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

In a heavy-bottomed, straight-sided, medium saute pan, add enough oil to reach at least 1-inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the orange marmalade, ginger, cream cheese, cinnamon, and salt until very well blended. Fill each wonton with a rounded teaspoon of filling and brush a little water along the edges of the wonton dough. Fold in half diagonally and pinch the wontons shut, making triangles. (Make all the wontons before frying.)

Working in batches, carefully fry the wontons 3 or 4 at a time, just until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, turning once. Remove the wontons and any blot excess oil on a paper towel. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving, as the filling will be extremely hot. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.

    This recipe was a hit really easy to make! Mine came out just like the picture. I did however add less ginger and 1/2 tsb maybe even less it was just too strong. Otherwise great and simple dessert!

    These are great desert, especially when served with just a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The ginger and orange work great together.

    These were really easy and cheap. My husband and kids ate just 1 and then grabbed some leftover strawberry shortcake. I don't think they liked the ginger. However, I thought they were a great little treat., but I really love ginger. So....I will keep this idea and just change the filling to maybe strawberries and cream or cinnamon and cream. I think it was a great idea from Melissa.
