Banana Wontons With Coconut Cream Sauce
- 2 bananas, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 12 cups whole milk
- 12 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 12 cup sugar
- 12 cup sweetened flaked coconut (optional)
- wonton wrapper
- vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- Make the filling: Stir the bananas, sugar, cinnamon, and coconut together in a small bowl, lightly mashing the bananas as you mix.
- The mixture should still be a little chunky.
- Make the sauce: In a small sauce pan, bring the milk and coconut milk to a boil then remove from the heat.
- Beat the egg yolks and sugar together in a medium bowl until pale yellow and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stirring constantly, gradually pour half of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, then stir the yolk mixture into the milk mixture remaining in the pan.
- Over medium heat, stir the milk mixture constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Strain the sauce into a medium bowl.
- For extra coconut flavor, add the 1/2 cup flaked coconut (I prefer it smooth!).
- Let cool to room temperature, then cover the bowl and chill until cold.
- (I like the sauce at room temp.
- ).
- Wontons: Place a heaping teaspoonful of the filling in the center of one of the wonton wrappers.
- (Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.)
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a fingertip dipped in water, then fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle.
- Pinch the edges together firmly to seal.
- Pull the opposite corners of the base of the triangle, moisten one of the corners with water, and press the two corners firmly to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining wontons and filling, keeping the folded wontons covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a wok or 2 quart saucepan to come to a depth of 3 inches.
- Heat the oil over medium heat to 350F Slip a few of the wontons into the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Repeat with the remaining wontons.
- Serve hot or cold, with the coconut cream sauce.
