Wontons with Mincemeat and Brandy Ice-Cream Recipe


This is an easy dish to prepare and is refreshingly different to traditional Christmas pudding. The ice cream can be prepared well in advance or if you don't have the time just buy your favorite flavored ice cream. Wantons can be purchased from most East Asian grocers either fresh or frozen.

6 Portions

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Wontons:

  • 60 wanton skins
  • 350-400g mincemeat
  • Oil For Deep Frying

To Serve:
  • Icing Sugar
  • 200-300g Brandy Ice-Cream or shop bought

Method:
Wantons: Lay out half the wantons on a work top. Place a teaspoon of the mincemeat in the centre of each wonton. Dampen around the edges of the wantons with water and place the other half of the wantons on them and press around the edges so as to seal in the filling. If you wish you may cut the wantons int circles or another shape such as stars with a biscuit cutter. Place the wontons on a floured board or container, cover them and refrigerate until ready to cook.

To Cook: Heat some oil in a deep fryer, large saucepan or wok to 180-190C (a cube of bread will float to the top and be golden when placed in it). Cook the wantons a few at a time and drain them on kitchen paper. Keep them warm as you prepare them.

To Serve: Place 5 wantons around each plate or bowl, place a scoop of ice-cream in the centre of each plate and sprinkle icing sugar over the wantons. Serve.
