Ingredients:

Puiwa's Banana Wontons with Coconut-Caramel Sauce

  • 1 medium banana, mashed with a fork
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 16 wonton wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (may also substitute vegetable oil)
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine cinnamon and banana in a small bowl.
  3. Place a heaping teaspoon of banana filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  4. Brush edges of wrapper with a small amount of water, fold into a triangle, and press edges together to seal.
  5. Brush both sides of each finished wonton with coconut oil.
  6. Place wontons on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until corners are browned and crispy.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, vanilla, and salt; set aside.
  9. Combine sugar and water in a small heavy-duty saucepan over medium-high heat.
  10. Do not stir.
  11. Allow mixture to come to a boil.
  12. Once it begins to boil, watch it closely.
  13. The mixture will start to smell like caramel and turn a golden color, then light brown.
  14. This will take about 6 minutes.
  15. When it starts to turn brown, slowly pour in coconut milk mixture, whisking constantly and quickly.
  16. If the sugar hardens around the whisk, just keep whisking until it melts.
  17. Continue to heat over medium-high until mixture has thickened and is a light caramel color, about 5 minutes more.
  18. Drizzle over wontons and serve with ice cream.
