These sweet wontons originate from the Cantonese region, and traditionally stuffed with walnuts and dates. In this recipe, dates are mixed with butter, brown sugar and toasted sesame seeds. You could add in chopped walnuts too. These are stuffed into wonton wrappers scrunched into money bags and fried in hot oil. Coat them in powdered sugar and eat them hot. And while serving it after a Chinese meal, serve a few of them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. It tastes delicious!

Date and sesame is a unique combination and so is this desert. It is crispy from outside, sweet and soft from inside. Hot wontons served with chilled vanila ice-cream is a delight in itself.
