Description

These Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites are bite-sized treats with a deliciously creamy cheesecake filling and a hint of fresh strawberry, all wrapped in a crispy wonton shell. Perfect for parties or a special dessert, these indulgent bites are sure to be a crowd-pleaser!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup strawberries, finely diced
  • 20–24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • Strawberry or chocolate sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  2. Assemble the Wontons: Place a small spoonful of the cheesecake mixture (about 1 teaspoon) in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg, then fold over to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Make sure there are no gaps to prevent filling from leaking.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the Wontons: Fry the wonton bites in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm with strawberry or chocolate sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the wonton wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
  • For a lighter option, bake the wonton bites in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for crispiness.
