Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the diced strawberries until well combined.
- Assemble the wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold and press to seal, forming a triangle or pouch. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
- Fry the wontons: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Cinnamon-sugar coating: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. While the wontons are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
- Serve: Serve warm with strawberry jam or whipped cream for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover wontons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to retain crispiness.
- Freezing: Assemble and freeze the wontons un-fried for up to 1 month. Fry directly from frozen.
