Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup neutral oil for frying canola or vegetable
  • 1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 8 oz square wonton wrappers keep covered so they don’t dry out
  • 1 tsp cornstarch for sealing slurry
  • 2 tbsp water mix with cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar for dusting
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon mix with sugar
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped toasted hazelnuts optional garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside for dusting.
  • Whisk cornstarch and water to make a thin slurry.
  • Lay out a few wonton wrappers. Add a small spoonful of chocolate-hazelnut spread to the center of each.
  • Brush wrapper edges lightly with the slurry. Fold into a triangle, press out any air, and seal firmly. Crimp edges for extra security.
  • Repeat with remaining wrappers. Chill the filled dumplings for 10 minutes while you heat the oil.
  • Heat oil in a deep, heavy pot to 350°F over medium heat.
  • Fry dumplings in batches, 45–60 seconds per side, until deep golden and crisp. Avoid overcrowding.
  • Transfer to a rack or paper towels. Immediately dust with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Serve warm, sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts if using.

Notes

Try adding a thin slice of banana inside each dumpling before sealing, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To make ahead, assemble and freeze in a single layer; fry straight from frozen, adding about 30 seconds.
