Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
20–24 wonton wrappers
Nutella, about ½ to 1 teaspoon per wonton
1 egg, whisked (for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Optional toppings:
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Melted chocolate or warm Nutella, for drizzling
Strawberries or banana slices, for serving
Vanilla ice cream, optional
Directions
Prepare the wontons
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about ½ to 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each wrapper.
Seal the wontons
Brush the edges of each wrapper lightly with whisked egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or envelope shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Make sure no air pockets remain. For a decorative touch, crimp the edges with a fork.
Fry the wontons
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry 4–5 wontons at a time for 30–45 seconds per side, or until golden brown. Transfer them to a paper towel–lined plate to remove excess oil.
Air Fryer Option:
Lightly spray the wontons with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
Add the finishing touches
Dust the fried wontons with powdered sugar. Drizzle melted chocolate or warm Nutella over the top for an extra layer of decadence.
Serve
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh fruit slices for the ultimate treat.
Servings and timing
Servings: 20–24 wontons
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Variations
Add a thin slice of banana or strawberry inside the wonton with the Nutella for a fruity twist.
Roll the hot wontons in cinnamon sugar immediately after frying for extra flavor.
Substitute Nutella with peanut butter or chocolate spread for a different taste profile.
Drizzle with caramel sauce instead of chocolate for a sweet caramel touch.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in an air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes until crisp again. Avoid microwaving, as it may make them soggy.
