Ingredients
Scale
Main Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup strawberries, finely diced
Wrapper and Sealing Ingredients:
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
Cooking and Finishing Ingredients:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Strawberry sauce (for dipping)
- Chocolate sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Craft a luscious cheesecake mixture by whipping cream cheese until silky. Incorporate powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream, blending until uniform. Gently integrate chopped or pureed strawberries, creating a vibrant filling with delicate fruit essence.
- Position a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Delicately deposit a precise tablespoon of cheesecake mixture at the wrapper’s center, avoiding overfilling. Moisten wrapper edges with water using fingertips or a brush. Elegantly fold into a triangle or rectangular shape, meticulously sealing edges to prevent leakage.
- Select a deep frying vessel and warm vegetable oil to approximately 350F (175C). Validate oil temperature by introducing a wrapper fragment; immediate sizzling indicates readiness for frying.
- Strategically submerge wonton parcels into hot oil, maintaining sufficient spacing between batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes, rotating midway to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration. Extract crispy morsels using a slotted spoon, transferring to paper towels for excess oil absorption.
- After slight cooling, embellish wonton bites with a delicate powdered sugar dusting. Optional: adorn with fresh strawberry slivers to accentuate visual appeal and intensify fruity undertones.
Notes
- Customize Filling Texture by pureeing or finely chopping strawberries for different mouthfeel experiences in the cheesecake wontons.
- Prevent Leakage by using minimal filling and sealing wonton edges carefully with water to ensure crispy, intact bites during frying.
- Control Oil Temperature precisely around 350F to achieve perfectly golden, crispy exterior without burning or undercooking the delicate wonton wrapper.
- Accommodate Dietary Needs by substituting cream cheese with dairy-free alternatives like cashew cream for vegan and lactose-intolerant individuals.
