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 and Frying
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing the edges
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For Serving
- Whipped cream
- Extra strawberry jam or sauce
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will be the sweet, creamy center of your wonton bites.
- Add Strawberries to Filling: Mix a few diced fresh strawberries into the filling for texture and flavor, or simply add a small dollop of strawberry jam on top of the filling for each wonton portion.
- Fill the Wontons: Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leaking.
- Seal the Wontons: Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water using your finger. Fold the wrapper over the filling into a triangle or envelope shape and press firmly to seal, removing any air bubbles.
- Repeat: Continue filling and sealing the remaining wonton wrappers with cheesecake filling.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C) for perfect frying temperature.
- Fry the Wonton Bites: Fry the wontons in batches, cooking each side for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain: Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the deep-fried strawberry cheesecake wonton bites warm, accompanied by whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce, and fresh strawberry slices for dipping and garnishing.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
- Seal the wontons tightly to prevent leaking during frying.
- Maintain the oil temperature to avoid greasy wontons.
- Use fresh strawberries for best flavor or opt for high-quality strawberry preserves.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
