Mango Pockets with Cinnamon Cream
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 1 large ripe but firm mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Place a wonton wrapper on a work surface, and spoon 3 or 4 small pieces of mango onto the center.
- Brush the edges of the wonton with a little of the beaten egg.
- Fold in half on the diagonal.
- Then fold all the corners in so they touch, to resemble a small pouch, pressing on the edges to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and mango.
- Pour enough oil into a medium saucepan to reach halfway up the sides of the pan.
- Heat the oil to 350F.
- Stir the 2/3 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon together on a baking sheet.
- Working in batches, fry the mango pockets in the hot oil for 4 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
- Transfer them to paper towels to drain.
- Then, while the mango pockets are still warm, transfer them to the baking sheet and toss them in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
- Combine the cream, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl and whisk to form soft peaks.
- Serve the mango pockets with the cinnamon cream for dipping.
