 Preparation & Cooking Time

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 10 minutes

• Total Time: 25 minutes

• Servings: ~20 wontons

 Ingredients

For the Wonton Filling:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup diced fresh strawberries (or strawberry preserves for a smoother filling)

For the Wontons:

• 20–24 wonton wrappers

• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

• Vegetable oil, for frying

For Serving (Optional):

• Powdered sugar, for dusting

• Chocolate or caramel sauce, for drizzling

• Fresh strawberries, for garnish

• Whipped cream or ice cream on the side

 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

2. Gently fold in diced strawberries (or swirl in preserves).

Step 2: Assemble the Wontons

1. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.

2. Brush the edges with beaten egg.

3. Fold into a triangle (or envelope style) and press firmly to seal. Make sure no filling leaks out.

Step 3: Fry the Wontons

1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

2. Fry wontons in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

3. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Serve

1. Dust with powdered sugar.

2. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.

3. Serve warm with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 Pro Tips

• Seal tightly: Any gaps will cause the filling to leak into the oil.

• Don’t overfill: A teaspoon is plenty — too much will burst the wonton.

• Alternative cooking method: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–7 minutes (spray lightly with oil).

• Flavor twist: Add a spoonful of strawberry jam or Nutella for an extra indulgent filling.

• Make ahead: Assemble and freeze before frying — no need to thaw before cooking.

 Serving Ideas

• Party Platter: Arrange on a tray with dipping sauces like chocolate ganache, strawberry sauce, or caramel.

• Valentine’s Dessert: Garnish with heart-shaped strawberries and powdered sugar.

• Decadent Sundae: Serve alongside ice cream for the ultimate treat.
