Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 8 MinTotal time: 13 Min
Ingredients
- 1 cup of frozen raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries
- 2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 6 tablespoons Nutella
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 6 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg mixed with 1 teaspoon of water
- Whipped cream or powdered sugar for garnish
- Fresh raspberries for garnish or powdered sugar
- Cooking Oil Spray
- For Homemade Wonton Wrappers:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- Place flour into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, salt, and water. Create a well in the center of the flour and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix everything together with the paddle from an industrial electric mixer, until the mixture begins to come together.
- Knead for 3-5 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest for 1 hour. Divide the dough in half.
- Cover one-half of the dough with your towel.
- Add some cornstarch on a cutting board (or whatever you use to roll the dough out on) to roll out your dough.
- Roll half of the dough as thin as you can, forming a rectangle roughly 20”x10”.
- Cut the sheet into your desired shapes. Usually, store-bought is 5 to 7-inch squares and are perfect for egg rolls.
- I use 3-inch squares or circles for wontons or dumplings and desserts.
- Repeat with the remaining dough. Use the wonton wrappers immediately or freeze.
- For a Seafood Shrimp Rangoon scroll to the end of the card.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Mix the raspberries with brown sugar in a small saucepan heat to boiling.
- In a small cup add the cornstarch and some water to make a thin drizzle and add that into the hot berries and cook until thickened around 3 minutes.
- On a cutting board, place a wrapper on the board, fill it with a little Nutella, and top the Nutella with softened cream cheese.
- Fold it like a triangle.
- Spray with cooking oil, then use some water to seal the edges or milk.
- Bake in the oven until browned and crispy or you can fry them in butter.
- Drizzle the top with raspberry sauce.
- Shrimp and Crab Ragoon Wonton Appetizers

- Topping:

- Mix all together in a bowl. Using a wrapper, place a good amount (1 heaping teaspoon ) in the center of the wonton. Fold all four ends to the top joining together and sealing the edges like a flower with egg whites or milk. You can also just make triangles the same way.
