Ingredients
Scale
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)
Assembly & Frying
- 20-24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Serving
- Whipped cream
- Extra strawberry jam or sauce
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the strawberry jam and diced fresh strawberries if using, mixing gently to create a luscious cheesecake filling.
- Fill the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about one teaspoon of the strawberry cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper. Using a small brush or your finger, moisten the edges with water then fold the wrappers into triangles or desired shape, pressing firmly to seal and prevent any filling from leaking during frying.
- Heat the oil and fry: In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the stuffed wontons into the hot oil in batches, frying until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and drain on paper towels.
- Serve and garnish: Arrange the deep-fried strawberry cheesecake wonton bites on a serving platter. Garnish with whipped cream, a drizzle of strawberry jam or sauce, and fresh sliced strawberries for an irresistible presentation. Serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature stays steady at about 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked wontons.
- Do not overfill the wontons to prevent burst during frying.
- Can be made ahead and reheated briefly in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
- Optional: Substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or blueberry preserves for variation.
- Handle hot oil carefully to avoid burns.
