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 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 a few diced strawberries into the filling for added texture and flavor.
- Fill the Wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Seal the Wontons: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle or envelope shape. Press firmly to seal and remove any air bubbles around the filling. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Wontons: Fry the wontons in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Serve warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices on the side.
Notes
- Be careful not to overfill the wontons to prevent them from bursting during frying.
- Adjust the sweetness of the filling to your preference by adding more or less powdered sugar.
- These can be made ahead of time and frozen, then fried right before serving.
