How to Make Banana Wontons With Coconut Cream Sauce
- **Make the Filling:** In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut. Mix well, ensuring the mixture is slightly chunky.
- **Make the Sauce:** In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup coconut milk to a boil. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until pale yellow and smooth (2-3 minutes).
- Gradually whisk half of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks. Then, pour the yolk mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup flaked coconut (optional).
- Let the sauce cool to room temperature, cover, and chill until cold.
- **Assemble the Wontons:** Place a heaping teaspoon of the banana filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pinching the edges firmly to seal.
- Bring the bottom two corners of the triangle together. Moisten one corner with water and press firmly to seal, creating a wonton shape.
- Cover the assembled wontons with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
- **Fry the Wontons:** Pour enough vegetable oil into a wok or deep saucepan to reach a depth of 3 inches. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry a few wontons at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown (2-3 minutes).
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- **Serve:** Serve the wontons hot or cold, drizzled generously with the chilled coconut cream sauce.
