👩🍳 How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
Gently swirl in the strawberry preserves. You can fully mix it for a pink filling or leave light streaks for a marbled look.
Step 2: Assemble the Wontons
Lay wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface.
Place 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaking during frying.
Brush the edges lightly with beaten egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring all corners together to form a pouch. Press firmly to seal.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 175–180°C (350°F). The oil should be hot enough that a wonton sizzles immediately when added.
Step 4: Fry Until Golden
Carefully place a few wontons into the hot oil, frying in small batches.
Fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
