Ingredients
Scale
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
Fresh strawberries (diced, optional)
20–24 wonton wrappers
Water (for sealing the edges)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Extra strawberry jam or sauce (for serving, optional)
Fresh strawberries (sliced, for serving, optional)
Instructions
Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For extra flavor, fold in diced fresh strawberries.
Assemble the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of your cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper.
Seal the wontons: Wet the edges of each wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press tightly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
Fry the wontons: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in small batches for 2-3 minutes until they’re golden brown. Remove them and drain on paper towels to rid excess oil.
Serve warm: These bites are best enjoyed hot. Garnish with whipped cream, drizzle with extra strawberry jam, and adorn with fresh strawberry slices for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for smooth filling. Avoid overfilling wontons to prevent leaks during frying.
