Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- Fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
Wonton Bites
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For Serving
- Whipped cream
- Extra strawberry jam or sauce
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the 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 or mix in diced strawberries for texture.
- Fill the wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center.
- Seal the wontons: Moisten the edges with water, fold over to form a triangle or envelope shape, and press firmly to seal, removing any air bubbles.
- Heat oil: In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wontons: Fry in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Drain excess oil: Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce, and fresh strawberry slices.
Notes
- Do not overfill wontons to avoid bursting during frying.
- Adjust sweetness by varying powdered sugar amount.
- Make ahead and freeze; fry right before serving for convenience.
