Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- About 20 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying, about 2 cups (480 ml)
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar for dusting, honey or chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in diced strawberries. Chill for 10 minutes if too runny.
- Assemble the wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center. Moisten edges with water, fold diagonally to form a triangle, and press edges firmly to seal. Crimp edges with a fork if desired.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or pot to about 2 inches depth. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wontons: Add a few wontons to hot oil without overcrowding. Fry about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey or chocolate if desired.
Notes
Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F (175°C) to avoid greasy or doughy wontons. Moisten edges with water to seal properly and prevent bursting. For a lighter option, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
