You could bake these in the oven as well, but I love how the wontons get crispy in the air fryer! The chocolaty cream cheese inside the wonton tastes like brownie batter. Seriously, we can’t get enough of these!

Fried Nutella Wonton Recipe

The Twin Dragon Asian Wonton Wrapper was sent to me courtesy of JSL foods, and folding the wontons is my favorite part of making these. I did a quick search online and found that there are a bunch of traditional ways to fold wontons. I personally love this shape where all the corners are brought together.

Making the chocolate almond cream cheese air fried wontons is super easy. Using a mixer, mix the cream cheese, cocoa powder, sugar and almond extract together. Lay out your wonton wrapper and place just a tablespoon full of the cream cheese mixture in the middle. Dip your finger in cup of water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to create a glue. Bring the corners of the wonton wrapper the middle and pinch the edges together.

Before air frying, spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with a cooking spray, I use avocado oil. Place the wontons into the greased fryer basket, and spray the actual wontons with the cooking oil spray. Place in the air fryer and cook.

Growing up, the only wontons I ever knew were the kind that filled my quart of wonton soup from the local Chinese takeout shop. You know what I'm talking about: thick and noodle-y, and filled with a pork meatball surprise. In those days I never imagined that the wonton wrapper (a dough of flour, egg, and water) could be delicate, let alone crafted into a dessert. But it can. These chocolate wontons are a whole new way of enjoying the beautiful, thin wonton skins which are readily available these days in the supermarket.

When fried, the dough crisps up into a crunchy but delicate shell that shatters as soon as you bite into it. For this reason, fried wontons make the perfect pouch for any sort of sweet filling you can think of, even if it's (dare I say?) 

Keep a few things in mind when making fried wontons and it'll go off without a hitch. Assemble just a few at a time to guarantee that the dough is moist and supple. Also, don't try to fry it all in one batch—the temperature of the oil will drop and the wontons won't fry properly (it only takes about 45 seconds for them to fry anyway, so it's nice and quick). Above all,  do not overfill the wrappers. It'll be tempting to make a plump little wonton filled with chocolate, but you'll seriously run the risk of chocolate seeping out into the oil and burning on the bottom of the pot (this definitely happened to me).

Wonton dough isn't sweet, so to top it off, I dust them with a mixture of confectioners' sugar and Chinese five-spice powder (a mixture of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, and fennel.) Gobble them up while still warm and the chocolate is good and gooey. Even better, add a scoop of ice cream and you'll have a delicious plated dessert full of contrasting temperatures and textures.

I found that starting to flip the wontons immediately is easier than waiting for one side to brown, because it helps prevent the wonton from getting top heavy on one side. By doing this it will be easier to keep the wonton flipped over to the second side.
