Wonton dessert recipes, wonton recipes, wonton wrapper recipes

A friend once said that he must round off a meal with a sweet dessert otherwise, he would feel that he hasn't really completed his meal. Sort of a sweet ending?

It sounded strange to me at first because I am the sort who do not care much for desserts. I do not have a problem not having desserts after dinner.

But this end-a-meal-with-a-dessert habit must be true for many people judging from the huge range of sweet desserts available.

Coming back to wontons. To me, they have always been savoury.

But as I read more about wontons, I came across cooks with great imagination, creativity and culinary talent who use the wonton wrappers to make all sort of sweet and delightful desserts.

Here are some wonderful wonton dessert recipes.

For wontons to be baked, I would recommend using an egg-less wonton wrappers.

To all the sweet tooths out there ... with love.
