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)
Wonton Wraps
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
Frying
- Vegetable oil, for frying
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 of each filling portion, or mix a few diced strawberries into the filling for texture and added flavor.
- Fill wonton wrappers: 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 remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat 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 to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain and serve: Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices on the side.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F for even frying and to avoid soggy wontons.
- You can add diced strawberries directly to the cream cheese filling for extra freshness and texture.
- Make sure to seal the wonton edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during frying.
- Serve immediately for best texture; crispy outside and creamy inside.
