Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 24 wonton wrappers
- ½ cup strawberry jam (or any berry jam of choice)
- 1 egg (for sealing, beaten)
- Oil, for frying (vegetable or canola)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Fresh strawberries (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Chill the filling in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so it’s easier to handle.
- Assemble the Wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Add 1 teaspoon of cream cheese filling in the center. Top with ½ teaspoon of strawberry jam. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or bring all corners together to form a pyramid. Press tightly to seal and avoid leaks.
- Fry the Wontons: Heat oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in small batches for 30–45 seconds per side, until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar while warm. Serve with extra strawberry jam or chocolate sauce for dipping. Enjoy immediately for that irresistible crispy-outside, creamy-inside texture!
Notes
- For a different flavor, try using other fruit jams.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- These can be made ahead of time and frozen before frying.
