Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries diced
- 20-24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Strawberry jam optional for serving
- Whipped cream optional for serving
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat everything together until it is smooth and creamy. Then, gently fold in the diced strawberries and set this filling aside.
- Take a wonton wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling and place it in the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper to seal it tight.
- In a deep pot or skillet, heat vegetable oil until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry a few wontons at a time for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove them and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Toss the warm wontons in this mixture to coat them evenly.
- Serve the wontons warm with a drizzle of strawberry jam or a dollop of whipped cream if you like
