Ingredients
Scale
- Wonton wrappers
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, finely diced (or strawberry preserves)
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, optional, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in diced strawberries or preserves gently to create a marbled effect.
- Prepare the wrappers: Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Keep a small bowl of beaten egg nearby.
- Fill the wontons: Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Seal the wontons: Brush edges with beaten egg, fold into a triangle or pouch, and press edges firmly. Remove air pockets and press with a fork if desired.
- Heat the oil: Fill a skillet or saucepan with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wontons: Fry in small batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate/caramel. Serve warm.
Notes
For a healthier version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes instead of frying.
Use different fruit fillings for variation, such as blueberries, raspberries, or peach preserves.
Ensure the wrappers are tightly sealed to prevent leakage during frying.
