Looking for something different to wow your family and friends for dessert? These creative Peach Cobbler Wontons with Bourbon Whipped Cream are it!
When it was just Asheley and I, we would be in the city almost every other weekend. And the mission was always the same. Find awesome food. I have an ever growing and evolving list of places that I have been and want to go, and some serious damage would be done in the eating department every visit.
Now with Olivia here, things are a bit different. We can't just get up and leave for the day. Days in the city are a little more infrequent (and require a whole lot more planning and forethought), but all the more special and valued.
During one of our latest adventures in the city, my buddy Steve and I checked out this dumpling joint he's been dying to try called Mimi Chengs. All I can say is... legit. Hands down the best dumplings I ever had.
And when I saw they had a special dessert dumpling on the menu, you know I had to try it. Those Peach Cobbler Dumplings were pretty magical, and I immediately knew I had to recreate them at home (with a healthy addition of Bourbon Whipped Cream, of course).
These little creative wontons have all the flavor of peach cobbler, crammed into bite-sized (or two bites if you have a normal size mouth unlike me, I guess) bundles of joy.
Seriously, these bad boys are so freaking good.
Feel free to leave the bourbon out of the whipped cream for the kiddies 🙂
I'm not going to lie and say making these wontons are a super quick and easy process. But the work is well worth the result. How impressed are your family and friends going to be when they find out you made Peach Cobbler WONTONS?!
There is a tiny bit of a learning curve when folding wontons. You definitely will get quicker and more efficient with them as you go. The biggest tip I can give you is be careful not to overfill them. It's tempting, I know. But when you try to stuff too much filling in, it's very difficult to close. Trust me. I know from experience.
Actually, I have a new biggest tip... get your friends and family to help you fold these wontons. Many hands make light work lots of wontons! I started letting my friends help me fold whenever I made these Southwest Wontons... and they all were totally game to jump in and be part of the process.

Peach Cobbler Wontons with Bourbon Whipped Cream
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 24 Wontons 1x
Description
Enjoy all the flavor of peach cobbler with these creative handheld wontons. Omit the bourbon for regular whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and diced ripe peaches (about 4 peaches)
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, diced
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch Kosher salt
- 24 wonton wrappers
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Vegetable oil
Bourbon Whipped Cream
- 1 cups very cold heavy cream
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ tablespoon bourbon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a baking safe dish, combine peaches, butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and Kosher salt. Roast, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir mixture well, and cook for 15 more minutes, or until peaches are fork tender. Let cool completely.
- Place a little bowl of water next to your workstation as a "wash" to help seal wontons. Working one at a time, add 1 small spoonful of peach cobbler mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Be careful not to overfill or else it will be very difficult to seal the wonton. Dip a finger into the water, and trace the perimeter of the wonton wrapper. Bring all four corners of the wonton wrapper to a point on top and tightly seal all edges. Make sure there are no air pockets or holes in the wonton. Place sealed wontons under a moistened paper towel to avoid drying out.
- Dip fingers in water and very quickly and lightly moisten wonton wrappers. Sprinkle generously with granulated sugar.
- To fry wontons, add 1 to 1 ½ inches of vegetable oil to a skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Once hot (wontons will sizzle when it hits the oil) and working in batches, fry wontons approximately 1 to 2 minutes, turning over if needed, until they are golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined baking sheet so excess oil can drain.
- While cooling, prepare Bourbon Whipped Cream. In the bowl of stand mixer or in a medium mixing bowl fitted with an electric hand mixer, beat the cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and bourbon on medium/medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Taste and add additional bourbon if desired.
- Top wontons with Bourbon Whipped Cream and serve immediately.
- Prep Time: 25 minutes
- Cook Time: 35 minutes

I'm already on board with anything that contains the word "cobbler," but these wontons are in a league of their own! They look fan-freaking-tastic! What a great idea to make dessert wontons.

Say what? Peach cobbler anything is right up there in my book...but you turned them into wontons! And then bourbon whipped cream? Man, this is one epic recipe. Forget going to a restaurant in the city...I'm just coming to your house. Don't be surprised when I ring the doorbell tonight and ask for one of these bad boys!

OK, best dumplings and Dim Sum in general here in San Diego is definitely Jasmine Seafood. Been going there for over 20 years. I’ll keep Mimi Cheng’s on my list of NYC place to eat for sure.
Dude, these look amazing! Fantastic, creative idea adding the bourbon cream, too.
