🍽️ Ingredients
For the Wontons:
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 4 oz (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup diced fresh strawberries (or strawberry preserves for a smoother texture)
- 1 egg, beaten (used for sealing)
- Oil for frying
For Serving:
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Strawberry sauce or raspberry jam, for dipping
- Whipped cream, optional
👩🍳 How to Make Them
1. Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in diced strawberries (or use strawberry preserves for a smoother, more jammy filling).
2. Assemble the Wontons
Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into the center. Lightly brush the edges with the beaten egg, then fold the wrapper into a triangle (or bring all corners together for a pouch). Press edges firmly to seal—no leaks!
3. Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in small batches for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
4. Serve and Devour
Dust your crispy bites with powdered sugar. Serve warm with strawberry sauce, raspberry jam, or whipped cream for dipping. One bite, and you’ll be hooked!
✨ Tips & Variations
- Baked Version: Looking for a lighter option? Brush wontons with a bit of oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Filling Fun: Try Nutella, caramel, or even blueberry cheesecake for a fresh twist.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Assemble wontons ahead of time and refrigerate. Fry just before serving for maximum crunch.
