Ingredients
For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ cup finely diced fresh strawberries
-
1 tbsp strawberry jam (for sweetness and extra berry flavor)
For the Wonton Bites:
-
20–24 square wonton wrappers
-
Small bowl of water (for sealing wrappers)
-
Vegetable oil for frying (or any neutral oil)
Optional Toppings:
-
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
-
Chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or strawberry sauce (for drizzling or dipping)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and stir until combined.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries and strawberry jam.
Refrigerate the filling for 10–15 minutes to firm up slightly before assembling.
Step 2: Prepare the Wontons
Place wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface.
Scoop about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling into the center of each wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
Fold into a triangle or bring all corners together to form a purse shape.
Press edges firmly to seal well. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
Pour about 2 inches of oil into a deep pan or pot.
Heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Line a plate with paper towels for draining.
Step 4: Fry the Wonton Bites
Fry 4–5 wontons at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels or a wire rack to drain.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Dust warm wonton bites with powdered sugar.
Drizzle with chocolate, caramel, or strawberry sauce if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
Chill the Filling – A slightly firmer filling is easier to wrap and less likely to leak.
Seal Tightly – Wet the edges and press firmly to prevent bursting during frying.
Watch the Oil Temperature – Too hot and the wrappers will burn; too cool and they’ll absorb oil.
Use Fresh Strawberries – They provide the best flavor and texture.
Don’t Overstuff – A small amount of filling goes a long way and keeps the bites neat.
