Ingredients:
20 wonton wrappers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup strawberry jam or fresh chopped strawberries (sweetened)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Extra powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
1. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
Stir in the strawberry jam or chopped sweetened strawberries.
Optional: Add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
2. Prepare the Wontons:
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture in the center.
Brush the edges with beaten egg to help seal.
Fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring all four corners together like a purse. Press edges tightly to seal and avoid leakage during frying.
Repeat with remaining wrappers.
3. Fry the Bites:
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons in small batches for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Finish and Serve:
Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
Optional: Serve with extra strawberry jam or a chocolate dipping sauce.
