Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
Fresh strawberries, diced (optional, for extra strawberry flavor)
For the Wontons:
20-24 wonton wrappers
Water, for sealing the edges
Vegetable oil, for frying
For Serving (Optional):
Whipped cream
Extra strawberry jam or sauce
Fresh strawberries, sliced
Directions:
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add a small dollop of strawberry jam in the center of each filling portion, or mix a few diced strawberries into the filling for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the Wonton Bites:
Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle or envelope shape. Press firmly to seal and remove any air bubbles around the filling.
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Fry the Wonton Bites:
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve:
Serve the wonton bites warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices on the side.
These Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites are crispy on the outside with a creamy, strawberry-filled center. Perfect for a sweet, shareable dessert! Enjoy!
