Time 21m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup port wine or 1/2 cup red Zinfandel wine, wine*
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup dried tart cherry
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups oil (I use canola)
12 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten
3 ounces chocolate, cut into 6 pieces (bittersweet or semisweet)
sugar

Steps:

  • For sauce, in a small saucepan heat port to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, 3 to 4 minutes or until reduced to 1/3 cup. Add 1 tablespoon sugar; cook and stir 1 minute. Add cherries; cook 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and whisk in butter; cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until temperature reaches 350 degrees F. While oil heats, lightly brush edges of one wonton wrapper with some of the beaten egg. Place 1 piece of chocolate in center atop wonton wrapper. Place another wonton wrapper atop. Press edges to seal.
  • Cook filled wontons, one at a time, in hot oil for 1 minute or until golden brown, turning frequently to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Adjust heat as needed to maintain oil temperature. Cool wontons slightly. Sprinkle wontons evenly with sugar.
  • Serve wontons with sauce and ice cream. Sprinkle ice cream with grated chocolate and serve with two spoons. Makes 2 servings.
  • *TIP: If using zinfandel, increase sugar in sauce to 2 tablespoons.
