What You Need For Easy Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites

For the Wonton Bites:

• 1 package wonton wrappers (about 12-14 wrappers)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries (or strawberry jam)
• 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

How to Make Easy Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites

1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped fresh strawberries (or strawberry jam) and mix until well combined.
2. Assemble the wonton bites: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface, and spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the cheesecake filling into the center. Be careful not to overfill. Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper into a triangle or a pouch shape, sealing the edges to keep the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper in it—if it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is ready.
4. Fry the wonton bites: Carefully drop the wonton bites into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried wontons and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve and enjoy: Once the wonton bites are fried, dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch, and serve them warm. Enjoy these crispy, creamy, and indulgent bites!

Tips For Easy Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites

• Do not overfill the wontons: Be sure to use just a small amount of filling to avoid the wonton wrappers breaking open while frying.
• Keep the oil at the right temperature: If the oil is too hot, the wontons will burn quickly, and if it’s too cool, they may become greasy. Maintain a temperature of around 350°F (175°C) for best results.
• Serve with dipping sauces: For extra flavor, serve these wonton bites with a side of chocolate sauce, caramel, or even a fruit compote for dipping.

Substitutions and Variations

• Different fruit fillings: Swap the fresh strawberries for other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or even diced peaches for a different twist on these wonton bites.
• Use fruit preserves or jam: If fresh fruit isn’t available, you can substitute strawberry jam or preserves for the fresh strawberries in the filling.
• No-fry version: If you prefer not to fry, you can bake these wontons. Brush them lightly with butter or oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Make a Healthier Version

• Lower-fat option: Use reduced-fat cream cheese or even Greek yogurt in place of the cream cheese for a lighter version of this dessert.
• Baked wontons: Instead of frying, bake the filled wontons for a healthier option. Brush them lightly with oil or cooking spray before baking to get a crispy texture.
• Fruit-only filling: For a fruit-based option without the cream cheese filling, use mashed fruit mixed with a little honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
