Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • Fresh strawberries, diced (optional, about 2 tbsp)

Wontons and Frying

  • 20–24 wonton wrappers
  • Water, for sealing the edges
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups or enough for deep frying)

For Serving

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra strawberry jam or sauce
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Then, gently fold in the strawberry jam or preserves, and if desired, add diced fresh strawberries for extra texture and flavor.
  2. Assemble the wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold over the wrapper to form a triangle or envelope shape, pressing firmly to seal well and remove any air bubbles around the filling.
  3. Repeat filling and folding: Continue filling and folding the remainder of the wonton wrappers with the cheesecake mixture, placing them on a tray as you go.
  4. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or saucepan to a depth suitable for deep frying. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to check the temperature.
  5. Fry the wontons: Fry the wontons in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each batch for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them carefully for even frying.
  6. Drain excess oil: Once fried, remove the wontons and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve warm: Plate the wontons warm, serving with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices on the side for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Be careful to seal the wontons tightly to prevent filling leakage during frying.
  • Maintain oil temperature to avoid soggy or burnt wontons.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
  • You can substitute fresh strawberry jam with raspberry or mixed berry jam for variation.
