Ingredients
Scale
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
If you’re out of fresh strawberries, don’t fret! Frozen strawberries work just as well, just thaw and drain them before use.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the diced strawberries and strawberry jam until evenly distributed. This is when my kids usually sneak a taste, and I can’t blame them!
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over to form a triangle, and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test the oil with a small piece of wonton wrapper—it should sizzle and turn golden brown.
- Fry the wontons in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until they’re golden and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan!
- Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
