Ingredients

Scale

To prepare this comforting recipe for Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites, you’ll need:

  • 1 cup cream  cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

How to Make Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites

Follow these steps to create your own delicious Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites:

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the finely chopped strawberries.
  2. Assemble the Wontons: Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold into a triangle, and seal tightly.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a large, deep skillet, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Test the oil’s readiness by dropping in a small piece of wonton wrapper—it should sizzle.
  4. Fry the Bites: Fry the wontons in batches, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve Warm: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with chocolate or strawberry sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the wonton edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
  • Use a candy thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature for perfect crispiness.
  • Add a touch of lemon zest to the filling for a bright citrus twist.
