Ingredients
12 wonton wrappers
2-3 teaspoons sugar, divided (for wonton toppings and cream)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for garnish
2 fresh peaches, cleaned and thinly sliced
Cooking spray
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Arrange the wonton wrappers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top surface of each wrapper with cooking spray.
Sprinkle about 2-3 teaspoons of sugar evenly across all the wonton wrappers. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
While the wonton wrappers cool, place the heavy whipping cream in a chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add any remaining sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
To assemble each dessert, place one crispy wonton wrapper on a serving plate or dessert dish. Spread 2 tablespoons of whipped cream on top, then arrange 1/4 of a peach (a few slices) over the cream. Place another wonton wrapper on top and repeat with another layer of 2 tablespoons whipped cream and 1/4 of a peach (totaling 1/2 peach per dessert). Crown with the final wonton wrapper.
Sift the powdered sugar over the top of each Napoleon for garnish. Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the wonton layers.
Comments
Wonton wrappers are a quick find at any Charlotte grocery chain, but 20 minutes is optimistic if you're making fresh whipped cream from heavy cream and powdered sugar—add ten for proper chilling and assembly if you want the napoleon not to collapse. A can of whipped cream would cut that time honestly. Cost per serving lands around $1.50 to $2.00 driven by the peaches, which are excellent and cheap here in summer but pricey or mealy in winter; this is a July through September dish. The whipped cream and fried wonton shells mean leftovers don't work—same-night eating only. It's a smart, low-fuss dessert for a dinner party where peaches are in season and cost less than $2 a pound.
