Baked Pear & Ricotta Wonton Hand Pies with Rosemary and Chocolate 巧克力梨子奶油起司香酥派






Whenever I make Chinese wontons, I almost always have some extra wonton wrappers left. Of course, the simplest thing is to wrap them and store them in the freezer until the next use, but why not use them to make something completely different? Since pears abundant this time of the year, I thought they would make a perfect filling for the season. With the rosemary, it adds a fragrant woody aroma to make this dessert even more special, not to mention that it goes perfectly well with chocolate, too! There's no sugar, just a little maple syrup, and since it's not fried, you can pop as many as you wish without worrying about your health or feeling guilty. Next time you have some leftover wonton wrappers, turn them into this simple, yet sophisticated dessert!



 






Baked Pear & Ricotta Wonton Hand Pies with Rosemary and Chocolate (4 servings)




2        large pears, cut into 1/4" (0.6 cm) small dices *Make sure you use ones that aren't too ripe.

1/4 t    coconut oil or
canola oil
 
1 t       rosemary, chopped

1 1/2 T maple syrup or honey

1/4 C    ricotta cheese *Cream cheese would work well, too!

16        wonton wrappers

1 T       water

canola oil cooking spray

1/3 C    dark chocolate chips

confectioner's sugar (optional for decoration)

*T = tbsp, t = tsp, C = cup




1. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pears and cook for 2 minutes.

2. Add rosemary and maple syrup and cook for another 10 minutes or until the liquid is almost evaporated. Set aside and let cool.

3. When the pear mixture is cooled, preheat the oven to 350 F/175 C.

4. Lay the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon about 3/4 t of ricotta cheese in the center of each wrapper, then top with about 1 1/2 t of pear mixture.

5. Wet all the edges with water, then fold the bottom corner to the top corner to form a triangle shape. Press all the edges together to seal.

6. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Lightly spray with some cooking spray, then transfer the wontons onto the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of wontons with some more cooking spray.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and crisped.

8. While the wontons are baking, melt the chocolate over a double boiler for about 5 minutes.

9. Drizzle the melted chocolate and dust some confectioner's sugar (if using) over all the wontons and serve!

包餛飩剩下餛飩皮是常有的事,最簡單的辦法就是把多餘的皮包好放置冷凍庫保存,但其實只要有簡單的幾樣食材,也可以把它變成甜點。剛好現在國外正是梨子的季節,把它拿來當餡正好適合不過了!再加上巧克力與迷迭香的味道,使它變的更是別緻。另外,除了ㄧ點點的楓糖漿之外,完全沒有加糖,也不使用油炸的方式,可以安心食用。下次做餛飩若有剩下一些餛飩皮,把它變成這個美味、精緻又健康的甜點!
