Ingredients
the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
1 tbsp strawberry jam (optional, for extra sweetness)
For the Wontons:
24 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wontons)
Vegetable oil, for frying
For Serving:
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Chocolate sauce or caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional)
Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam (if using). Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Wontons
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center.
Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Make sure there are no air pockets.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Wontons
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the wontons in batches, frying for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil
