Description

Delightful deep-fried wonton bites stuffed with a creamy strawberry cheesecake filling. These crispy, golden morsels combine the smooth richness of cream cheese with the fresh sweetness of strawberries, perfect as a fun appetizer or a sweet treat for gatherings.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped strawberries

Wontons

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

For Frying and Garnish

  • Vegetable oil, for frying (enough to fill about 2 inches in a deep pan)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: chocolate sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky texture.
  2. Incorporate strawberries: Gently fold finely chopped strawberries into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed, taking care not to crush the pieces.
  3. Fill the wontons: Place about 1 teaspoon of the strawberry cheesecake filling in the center of each wonton wrapper, making sure not to overfill to prevent bursting during frying.
  4. Seal the wontons: Brush the edges of each wrapper with the beaten egg, fold into triangles or pinch corners together to form pouches, and seal tightly to prevent leaks during frying.
  5. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches into a deep pan and heat to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature for frying.
  6. Fry the wontons: Fry the wontons in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, turning gently to ensure even cooking without breaking them.
  7. Drain excess oil: Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil and keep the bites crisp.
  8. Serve and garnish: Allow the wontons to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired, for an extra touch of sweetness and appeal.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and smoother.
  • Seal wontons well to avoid filling leaking into hot oil.
  • Maintain steady oil temperature to achieve crispy, not greasy, bites.
  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • These bites are best served warm shortly after frying for optimal crispness.
