Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries. -
Assemble the Wontons:
Lay a wonton wrapper flat and place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture in the center. Moisten the edges with water, then fold and press to seal, forming a triangle or pouch shape. -
Fry the Wontons:
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. -
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the wontons are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. -
Serve:
Serve the crispy, sweet wonton bites warm with strawberry jam or whipped cream for dipping.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or even chocolate.
- For a lighter option, you can bake the wontons instead of frying them, brushing them with butter and baking at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
- If you make these ahead of time, freeze them and fry directly from frozen for a quick and easy treat.
- Ensure the edges of the wontons are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
