Ingredients
Scale
- 2024 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup (240 mL) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (60 mL) strawberries, finely diced
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- Strawberry or chocolate sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Whip cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until silky smooth. Fold in diced strawberries, ensuring even distribution throughout the creamy mixture.
- Wonton Assembly: Place a precise dollop of cheesecake mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush edges with beaten egg and fold into a triangular shape, sealing edges completely to prevent filling leakage.
- Oil Preparation: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F, creating the perfect frying environment. Maintain a steady medium flame and use a cooking thermometer for precise temperature control.
- Frying Process: Carefully submerge wontons in hot oil, working in small batches to preserve cooking quality. Fry until each bite transforms into a crispy, golden-brown delicacy, rotating once to ensure uniform browning.
- Finishing Touches: Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Generously dust with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
- Serving Suggestion: Plate the warm wonton bites immediately, accompanied by complementary strawberry or chocolate dipping sauces. Serve as an irresistible dessert that combines crispy exterior with creamy, fruity interior.
Notes
- Maintain Precise Temperature: Keep oil consistently at 350°F to prevent soggy or burnt wontons, using a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
- Handle Wrappers Carefully: Work with wonton wrappers quickly and seal edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during deep-frying.
- Control Batch Size: Fry small quantities to ensure even cooking and maintain optimal oil temperature, preventing overcrowding.
- Drain Excess Oil: Use paper towels to absorb oil immediately after frying, ensuring crispy texture and preventing greasiness.
