Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling: 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
(Optional) Fresh diced strawberries for extra flavor

For the Wontons: 20–24 wonton wrappers
Water (to moisten and seal the edges)
Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

For Serving (Optional): Whipped cream
Extra strawberry jam or sauce
Fresh strawberry slices

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. If you like a chunkier texture, stir in some diced fresh strawberries. Then add a dollop of strawberry jam or preserves into the mixture for that sweet and fruity flavor.

Assemble the Wonton Bites: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center. Moisten the edges with a little water to help seal the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling into a triangle or envelope shape, pressing firmly to seal the edges and ensure there are no air pockets inside.

Fry the Bites: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the wonton bites in batches for about 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow even frying. Once golden, remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve: Serve the wonton bites warm, optionally garnished with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce, and fresh strawberry slices for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

If you’re looking to make a slightly healthier version, you can try air frying the wonton bites instead of deep frying them.
You can also experiment with other fruit jams, such as raspberry or blueberry, for different flavor variations.
For an extra touch, drizzle the wonton bites with chocolate syrup or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
