Description

These Deep-Fried Blueberry Cheesecake Wontons are a delightful dessert combining creamy cheesecake filling with a sweet blueberry swirl, all wrapped in crispy wonton wrappers and fried to golden perfection. Served with optional garnishes like powdered sugar, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream, they make a perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk

Blueberry Swirl

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons water

Wontons

  • 20 to 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, for frying

Optional Garnishes

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Whipped cream
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Extra blueberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: Combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the berry mixture. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk, mixing until creamy and homogeneous. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up the filling.
  3. Assemble the Wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling and 1/2 teaspoon of cooled blueberry swirl into the center. Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg, then fold into a triangle or preferred shape, pressing firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Fry the Wontons: Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain any excess oil on paper towels.
  5. Serve: Dust the fried wontons with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with optional garnishes such as whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or extra blueberry sauce for a delightful dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the blueberry swirl is completely cooled before assembling to prevent soggy wontons.
  • Do not overfill the wonton wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
  • Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature for perfectly crispy wontons.
  • These can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Leftover wontons can be reheated in an air fryer for crispiness, but are best enjoyed fresh.
