Ingredients
Scale
To whip up these Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites, you will need:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Additional powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Steps to Sweet Success
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently, so they don’t end up as mush. Aren’t we aiming for a delightful surprise with each bite?
- Set Up Your Wontons: Take a wonton wrapper and place about a tablespoon of the cheesecake-strawberry mixture in the center. Dip your finger in water and run it around the edges of the wrapper—this will help seal the deliciousness inside. Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle and press the edges together firmly.
- Heat the Oil: In a large pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat. You want it hot enough that a drop of water sizzles when it hits the oil!
- Fry Away: Carefully place the stuffed wontons into the hot oil a few at a time. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown. Make sure to watch them closely—nobody wants to serve burnt bites!
- Drain and Dust: Once golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil. Dust them with powdered sugar for that sweet, decadent finish.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let them cool slightly and dig in! Your friends and family (not to mention your taste buds) will thank you for this indulgent treat.
