Berry Napoleons with Cinnamon Cream

 

Oh my...this is so..SO good! Last week I was attempting to remake "The Mese Roll" (look for the recipe in an upcoming post) and had a bunch of wonton wrappers and wanted to make a dessert using them. Then I remembered an amazing berry dessert I had at our favorite sushi place. Before I knew it...this was happening.

 This is so easy. It is truly a no brainer and so, so impressive. I tossed the wontons in cinnamon sugar and added cinnamon to basic whipped cream. The rest is just assembling (my favorite kind of dessert:). Of course, a dusting of powdered sugar never hurts. It's like a churro with fresh berries and cinnamon whipped cream except it's oh so light and perfect to share! If you're looking for a dessert to top off your Valentine's Day Dinner...this should definitely be on the list!

 

OK...the goods:

Berry Napoleon with Cinnamon Cream

serves 2:)

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Berries of your choice

 wonton wrappers

1/2 c sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

enough oil to deep fry wontons

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

1c. whipping cream

3Tblsp sugar

11/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Berries of your choice

Powdered sugar for dusting

Heat a small skillet with enough oil to fry wontons. Have a plate with paper towels ready, these babies cook up fast. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

Once the oil is hot enough, fry wontons 2 at a time flipping half way through. Once they're golden brown, immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar on both sides. Set aside. You will need 4 for each Napoleon but they are so good to snack on you may want to make them all!

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

1c. whipping cream

3Tblsp sugar

11/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. When it starts to thicken, add sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.

Place 1 scoop ice cream on plate. Top with Cinnamon Wonton. Add a scoop of Cinnamon Cream. Top with another Wonton. More Cream. Another Wonton. Got it?

So.. Ice cream, wonton, cinnamon cream, wonton, cinnamon cream, wonton, cinnamon cream. You with me??

 

Top with Berries and dust with powdered sugar. Perfect to share with someone you heart or...NOT...whatever brings you to your happy place:)
