Ingredients

Chocolate Dumplings
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 12 Lindt chocolate truffles or any chocolate truffles or chocolate squares
  • Water for sealing the wrappers
Salted Caramel Cream
  • ½ cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt or to taste

Instructions

  1. Fill a pot or wok with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil.
  2. Place a chocolate truffle in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly brush the edges with water. Bring all four corners together over the chocolate and pinch them firmly at the top. Press and seal the seams tightly to completely enclose the filling, making sure there are no gaps. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
  3. Line a steamer basket with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, leaving a little space between each one.
  4. Steam for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the wrappers are tender and the chocolate has completely melted.
  5. Meanwhile, make the salted caramel cream. Add the cream, caramel sauce, and salt to a tall glass or measuring cup. Beat with a handheld milk frother until soft peaks form. You can also use an electric hand mixer and a small bowl if you prefer.
  6. Serve chocolate dumplings with salted caramel cream. Enjoy!
