Ingredients

Scale

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)

Wonton Bites

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a rich base for your filling.
  2. Add strawberry flavor: Incorporate a small dollop of strawberry jam into each portion of the filling or mix in diced fresh strawberries to enhance texture and taste.
  3. Assemble the wontons: Place a wonton wrapper flat on your workspace and spoon about one teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center.
  4. Seal the wontons: Moisten the edges of the wrappers with water, fold over to form a triangle or envelope shape, then press firmly to seal, carefully removing any air bubbles for a tight closure.
  5. Repeat assembly: Continue filling and folding with the remaining wonton wrappers and cheesecake mixture.
  6. Heat oil for frying: In a deep skillet or saucepan, warm vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) ensuring it is hot enough for a crispy finish.
  7. Fry the wontons: Fry the stuffed wontons in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy, taking care not to overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature.
  8. Drain excess oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and drain them on paper towels, removing any excess oil for a lighter texture.
  9. Serve: Present the warm wonton bites with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and slices of fresh strawberries on the side for a delightful dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling.
  • For a twist, add finely chopped nuts or lemon zest to the cheesecake mixture.
  • Use fresh oil if the frying oil becomes dark or smoky to maintain flavor and healthiness.
  • Serve immediately after frying for best texture as the wontons will be crispiest when fresh.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry jam based on sweetness preference.
  • Can be made ahead and frozen before frying; fry straight from frozen adding extra cooking time.
