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)
Wontons
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
For Frying and Serving
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Whipped cream, for serving
- Extra strawberry jam or sauce, for serving
- Fresh strawberries, sliced, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a luscious cheesecake base.
- Add Strawberry Jam or Strawberries: Mix in a small dollop of strawberry jam in each portion of the filling, or blend in some diced fresh strawberries for added texture and flavor.
- Fill the Wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper flat. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Seal the Wontons: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or envelope shape, pressing firmly to remove air bubbles and secure the seal.
- Repeat Filling: Continue filling and sealing all wonton wrappers with the remaining cheesecake mixture.
- Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), ideal for frying.
- Fry the Wontons: Fry the wontons in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn golden brown and crispy, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
- Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried wontons and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve Warm: Serve the crispy cheesecake wonton bites warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices to garnish and enhance their delightful flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature reaches 350°F to achieve crispy, golden wontons without absorbing too much oil.
- Do not overfill wonton wrappers to prevent leakage during frying.
- Use fresh strawberries in the filling or as garnish for added freshness and texture.
- These bites are best served immediately while warm and crispy.
- Wonton wrappers can be found frozen or fresh in most Asian grocery stores.
