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
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together 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 extra texture.
- Fill the Wontons: Lay one wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center. Moisten the edges with water, then fold into a triangle or envelope shape, pressing firmly to seal and remove any air bubbles.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Wontons: Carefully place the filled wontons in the hot oil in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve Warm: Serve the wonton bites warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh sliced strawberries on the side for a deliciously sweet finish.
Notes
- You can add diced fresh strawberries to the filling for added texture and flavor.
- Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent at 350°F (175°C) for even frying.
- Do not overfill the wontons to prevent leaking during frying.
- Use water or egg wash to seal wonton edges securely.
- Serve immediately after frying for the best taste and crispiness.
