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)
Wontons
- 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 together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add strawberry flavor: Mix a small dollop of strawberry jam into the cream cheese mixture or fold in a few diced fresh strawberries to add texture and enhance the flavor.
- Fill the wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Seal the wontons: Moisten the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or envelope shape. Press the edges firmly to seal completely, making sure to remove any air bubbles around the filling to prevent bursting during frying.
- Repeat the process: Continue filling and sealing the remaining wonton wrappers until all the filling is used.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or saucepan to a depth suitable for deep frying. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wontons: Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the wontons: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried wontons from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the wontons warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices to complement the dessert.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling.
- Do not overfill the wonton wrappers as it may cause them to burst during frying.
- Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Drain fried wontons well to avoid greasiness.
- These bites are best served immediately while warm and crispy.
