🧁 Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
(The rich, creamy base of your filling) - ¼ cup powdered sugar
(Adds just the right touch of sweetness) - ½ tsp vanilla extract
(For warmth and aroma) - 16–20 wonton wrappers
(Found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores) - Fresh strawberries, finely chopped
(Mix into filling + a few extra for garnish) - 1 egg, beaten
(Used as an egg wash to seal the wontons) - Oil for deep frying
(Canola or vegetable oil works well) - Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or raspberry jam for dipping
🥣 Instructions:
- Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a few spoonfuls of chopped strawberries. Mix until smooth and creamy. - Assemble the Wontons
- Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Lightly brush the edges with beaten egg.
- Fold into a triangle or bring all corners to the center (like a little pouch), pressing edges firmly to seal.
- Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). - Fry in Batches
Carefully drop a few wontons at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. - Drain and Cool
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. - Serve and Enjoy
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Pair with raspberry jam or melted chocolate for dipping, and garnish with extra strawberries if desired.

👩🍳 Pro Tips:
- Don’t overfill the wontons—they’ll be harder to seal and might burst while frying.
- Want to prep ahead? Assemble and freeze them raw—fry straight from frozen when ready to serve.
- No fresh strawberries? Use a small dollop of strawberry jam inside the filling instead.
