Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wontons

How to make Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wontons

Step 1: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.

Step 2: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wrapper.

Step 3: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold and seal into a triangle or envelope shape, pressing tightly to close.

Step 4: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 6: Serve warm, optionally with chocolate sauce, strawberry jam, or whipped cream for dipping.
