THE THREE INGREDIENT ROMANTIC DESSERT..Bring these to your loved ones instead of red roses next time :)


This dessert invention had to be a success. I mean how can u go wrong with Won Ton wrappers, condensed milk and sweet shredded coconut flakes all wrapped in a rose shape!

I wanted something sweet to add to my Chinese recipe collection that was new, inventive, easy and delicious. I saw these won ton wrapper roses online and immediately decided to make them myself. But the recipe had a savory filling while I wanted a dessert. So I just experimented with coconut and condensed milk and Viola! an amazing dessert emerged. I tested this recipe on my kids, cooking class students and neighbors who all gave its a two thumbs up!
Now it's all yours! Follow the steps one by one. I made it very easy to follow for you. Your artistic presentation will get rewarded with a lot of Oohs and Aah, I promise !  :)

From any grocery store buy the circle and square shaped packets of won ton wrappers like I got below.

Cut the square into four equal square.

Now cut the four squares into 4 circles with a scissor.


Take half a packet of shredded sweetened coconut and add just enough condensed milk, about 3 tbsps to help bind it. take half teasp full and place in the middle of the large circle wonton.


using egg wash (one egg in one tesp water lightly beaten) to hold things together, shape the filled wonton like shown.


Now shape the first small circle around the filled one like shown using egg wash.


 Now take the second circle and shape it around the first petal like shown below.


 Next use the next circle to continue your petal work!


 And with the last one u have a beautiful wonton rose.
 

Make as many as you like.



Deep fry for a few seconds until just starts to turn golden. remove on kitchen paper towel. Serve warm or cold.





TIP:

Experiment with any kind of deep fryable savoury or sweet filling of your choce. these hold well, don't get soggy and make a killer presentation! Don't ya think ! :)
