Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- Fresh strawberries, diced (optional, for extra strawberry flavor)
For the Wontons:
- 20-24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For Serving (Optional):
- Whipped cream
- Extra strawberry jam or sauce
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the strawberry jam, or for a fresher flavor, fold in some diced strawberries for added texture and taste.
- Assemble the Wonton Bites: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle or envelope shape. Press firmly to seal and remove any air bubbles around the filling. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Wonton Bites: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve the wonton bites warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices on the side.
