Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Water (for sealing edges)
- Oil, for deep frying
- Optional: fresh strawberries for garnish, powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 1 tsp of the cheesecake filling into the center, then top with 1/2 tsp of strawberry jam.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold over to form a triangle or square. Press tightly to seal and avoid leaks.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp.
- Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, optionally with fresh strawberries or extra jam for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure edges are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during frying.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispness and warm filling.
- Try different jams for flavor variations like raspberry or blueberry.
- Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer for a few minutes.
