How to Make Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
Fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
20-24 wonton wrappers
Water, for sealing the edges
Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam until smooth. If desired, fold in diced fresh strawberries for added flavor.
Lay out wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold it over to form a triangle and press to seal the edges, ensuring there are no air pockets.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.
Carefully drop the sealed wonton bites into the hot oil, frying them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm and enjoy!

How to Serve Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites

These bites are best served warm right out of the fryer. You can dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch or serve them with a side of fresh strawberries or whipped cream for dipping. They make a delightful dessert or snack anytime!

How to Store Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for a day or two. To reheat, place them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness, rather than microwaving them.

Tips to Make Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites

Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying, as this ensures a crispy exterior.
Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers; a small spoonful is enough.
Experiment with other fruits or fillings if you want to change things up!

Variation

You can try using different types of fruit preserves or flavored cream cheese for a unique twist. Peach, blueberry, or even chocolate hazelnut cream cheese can be great alternatives!
