Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
• Stir until smooth, then fold in the finely diced strawberries until well combined.
• Place in the fridge to chill for 10-15 minutes. Chilling the filling will make it easier to handle when stuffing the wontons.

2. Assemble the Wonton Bites

• Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and add about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center.
• Dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper with a bit of water, then fold it into a triangle, pressing down to seal.
• For extra security, fold the two bottom corners towards each other and press to seal, forming a small pouch.

3. Fry the Wontons

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
• Gently drop a few wontons into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
• Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping occasionally for even cooking.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Serve and Enjoy!

• Dust the wonton bites with powdered sugar while still warm.
• Serve with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping, if desired.

Tips for Perfect Wonton Bites

• Chill the filling: This prevents it from leaking during frying.
• Seal tightly: Press the edges firmly, and add a little water as needed to make sure they don’t open in the oil.
• Fry in small batches: This allows them to cook evenly and keeps the oil temperature steady.

Variations

Feel free to experiment with different fillings! Try adding mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers for a cheesecake crust flavor, or swap the strawberries for blueberries or raspberries.
