WONTON CUPS WITH LEMON CURD AND RASPBERRIES
•Felt a little guilty eating lemon curd straight out of the jar with a spoon so I thought it needed a more appropriate vessel. Why not coat wonton wrappers in butter and bake them…..that’s the ticket! Impressive, but a super cinch to make. The curd can be made a week a head of time, but I suggest making the wontons that day and waiting to fill them until the last minute.
Using a pastry brush, paint both sides of the wonton wrappers with the melted butter.
Place two wrappers per muffin compartment making sure that they overlap at the bottom.
Fill 10 of the compartments, adjusting so that the wrapper tips don’t touch the others.
Pop into the oven and bake 7-10 min-
Until golden brown around edges.
And on the bottoms.
Remove and let cool 1/2 hour before you fill them.
Right before you want to serve them; divide the lemon curd among the wonton cups-approx 1 1/2 tbls per cup, give or take. Garnish each cup with a couple raspberries♥Enjoy

i want to make these when I’m the hostess for my church circle in Feb. I didn’t find the recipe for the wonton wrappers. What did I do wrong?
I will have to fill these about 4 hours in advance. Will they hold up?
i want to get four chocolate roses and put each one in a white milk glass vase for the table decorations.
I will make some candy to have on the left side of each plate.
Simple, but in the valentine spirit.
If I take these out and put them on white plates and refrigerate them. Pull them out just before serving, will that work?
Thank you for the idea and the help.
I will give a chocolate rose to each of our officers and the one who has resigned because of health problems.

Beverly, I’m so flattered that you want to make these for such a special occasion!!
You can find wonton wrappers in the refrigerated section of the produce department, usually by the tofu. I would be concerned that the bottoms of the cups would get soggy filled and sitting in the fridge for so long. I would say sitting a hour, tops. Definitely keep the curd in the fridge, but the cups out at room temp. Suggestions- make a couple in advance and try out the 4 hour scenario and see how it goes, lemon curd lasts a week in the fridge. Or is there a way you could spoon or pipe in (put in a ziplock bag and cut off a tip) the curd right before? Keep me posted-Connie
