🧾 Ingredients:
-
1 package wonton wrappers (square, not round)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup strawberry preserves (or diced fresh strawberries mixed with a bit of sugar)

👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the Cheesecake Filling
-
In a bowl, beat together:
-
Cream cheese
-
Powdered sugar
-
Vanilla extract
-
-
Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Assemble the Wonton Bites
-
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface (keep others covered with a damp towel to prevent drying).
-
Spoon 1 tsp cheesecake filling into the center.
-
Add 1/2 tsp strawberry preserves on top.
-
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
-
Fold into a triangle or bring all corners together for a purse shape.
-
Press edges firmly to seal.
3. Heat Oil
-
In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the Bites
-
Fry a few at a time (don’t crowd the pan) for about 1–2 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown.
-
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve
-
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
-
Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate or serve with whipped cream or ice cream on the side.
🔁 Tips & Variations:
-
Use raspberry, blueberry, or Nutella instead of strawberry.
-
Bake instead of fry (brush with butter & bake at 375°F for ~10–12 min) for a lighter version.
-
Make ahead: Assemble and freeze before frying for quick desserts later.
