While crisps are usually made with apples or peaches, this was recreated with tropical fruits âï¿1/2ï¿1/2 pineapple and mango âï¿1/2ï¿1/2 and macadamia nuts, ginger and wonton wrappers. The Chinese influence in this Hawaiian dessert is delightfully evident. Ingredients:
vegetable oil cooking spray |
24 wonton wrappers (3 1/2-inch square) |
1 (15 ounce) can mangoes, drained |
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained |
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped and toasted |
1/3 cup flour |
1/4 cup crystallized ginger, chopped |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter (or margarine) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-muffin tin with the cooking spray. Press 2 wonton wrappers into each cup in the muffin tin. Fill each wonton cup with mango and pineapple, to 3/4 full. Combine the nuts, flour, ginger, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the butter or margarine to the nut-flour mixture; cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter (or use two knives, cutting through the mixture at cross angles) to make coarse crumbs. Top the fruit with the nut-flour-butter mixture. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown, or just bubbling. Serve warm. Garnish with the edible flowers, if desired.
