Description
Crispy Deep Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring
- ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- Fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Whipped cream, for serving
- Extra strawberry jam or sauce, for serving
- Fresh strawberries, sliced, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, gently combine the strawberry jam or preserves with diced fresh strawberries (if using).
- Lay one wonton wrapper flat. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of cheesecake filling just below the center, then top with a smaller dollop (about 1/4 teaspoon) of the strawberry mixture. Moisten all four edges of the wrapper with water.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling to meet the top, forming a triangle. Press out any air and firmly seal all edges. Repeat for all wrappers. Place assembled wontons on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot or fryer to 2-3 inches depth. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully fry wontons in batches (3-5 at a time) for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with tongs and place on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Dust warm wontons with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam/sauce, and fresh strawberry slices for garnish.
