Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- Fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
Wontons & Frying
- 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 to the center of each portion, or mix diced strawberries into the filling for texture and flavor.
- Assemble Wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center. Moisten edges with water, fold into a triangle or envelope shape, and press firmly to seal, removing air bubbles.
- Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry Wontons: Fry the wontons in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce, and fresh strawberry slices.
Notes
- Do not overfill the wontons to prevent bursting during frying.
- Adjust powdered sugar in the filling to reach your desired sweetness.
- Wontons can be assembled ahead and frozen; fry them directly from frozen when ready to serve for best results.
