How to Make Chocolate Pillows

  1. **Make the Port Wine Cherry Sauce:** In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup port wine to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes, or until reduced to 1/3 cup.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add 1/2 cup pitted fresh or frozen cherries and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and smooth. Cover to keep warm.
  6. **Prepare the Chocolate Wontons:** Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
  7. While oil heats, lightly brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with beaten egg (about 1 tablespoon for 12 wrappers).
  8. Place 1 ounce of your favorite chocolate (semi-sweet, dark, milk, etc.) in the center of a wonton wrapper.
  9. Top with another wonton wrapper and firmly press the edges to seal, crimping to create a pillow shape.
  10. Carefully place filled wontons, one at a time, into the hot oil. Fry for 1 minute, or until golden brown, turning frequently for even browning.
  11. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  12. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
  13. Let the wontons cool slightly.
  14. Sprinkle the cooled wontons evenly with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  15. **Serve:** Place the Chocolate Pillows on plates, top with a generous spoonful of the warm port wine cherry sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream (about 1/2 cup per serving).
  16. Garnish the ice cream with shaved chocolate (about 1 tablespoon per serving) and serve immediately with two spoons for sharing.
