Yesterday my sister in law was over and we were watching Everyday Italian
(at least I think that's the name) and she was talking about filling
gyoza/wonton skins with nutella as a quick and easy dessert. Sounded
interesting, and I had the skins in the fridge already so....
While she was preparing the oil I went into the fridge to get the skins and
noticed the strawberries, all red and luscious looking, and
thought..."yummmmm"

So, dessert last night was strawberry and nutella wontons. So easy and yet
soooooo delicious!

what exactly is a gyoza/wonton skin?

my boys live for nutella, so its worth a try!

Wonton wrappers are used in Chinese cooking-- often with fillings for
appetizer. Your supermarket will probably have them in the deli
case--wrapped packages , about 3 or 4 inches square. Here's a recipe to
give you an idea how they are sometimes used.

To make gyoza skins:

Mix flour with a bit of water (just enough so that it forms a ball),
knead. Let rest in a covered bowl 30 min to 1 hour.
If you have a machine to make pasta, roll it thin and cut into 3-4 inch
circles. Otherwise, shape the dough into a cylinder of 1 inch diameter,
cut it in 1/4 inch slices, and roll into a thin skin.

I've thought about Nutella, but the strawberries are a stroke of pure evil
genius! Thanks!

And the beauty part was, when I tested later, my BG was only 108!
It's decadent, so you can eat just a couple and feel like you've been way
naughtier than you really were! lol

But ... is it possible to stop at just a couple? This is me you're talking
to.

LOL, well, it's not as hard as you'd think. I think it would be difficult to
eat more than, say, 4 at any one time. Like I said, they're very decadent!
I have to say, it was a really fun dessert to make too. The kids had a blast
filling and folding the wontons, and they actually worked together for the
entire time without a single word of disagreement between them! (If you'd
ever spent time with my daughter and my niece in the same room, you'd know
what a miracle that really is!)

Yeah, they do sound pretty rich. I'll have to give these a try. I'm not
sure if you mentioned anything like this in your original post or not, but
did you happen to sift some powdered sugar over them?

A creperie opened up not far from me, and they serve something like this
(Nutella and strawberries, crepe-sized, of course). Very good.
