Ingredients
Scale
- For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- Fresh strawberries, diced (optional, for extra strawberry flavor)
- For the Wontons:
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- For Serving (Optional):
- Whipped cream
- Extra strawberry jam or sauce
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add a small dollop of strawberry jam in the center of each filling portion, or mix in some diced strawberries for added texture and flavor.
- Assemble the Wonton Bites: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling into the center. Moisten the edges with a little water, then fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or envelope shape. Press firmly to seal, removing any air bubbles around the filling. Repeat with remaining wontons.
- Fry the Wonton Bites: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve the wonton bites warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce, and fresh strawberry slices on the side.
Notes
For best results, serve immediately after frying for optimal crispiness. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to the filling
