Wonton Shell and Base Ingredients
- Wonton wrappers – enough for desired servings
- Butter or oil – for frying or brushing before baking
Cheesecake Filling
- Cream cheese – softened, about 8 oz (225 g)
- Sugar – 2 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Fruit
- Fresh strawberries – sliced, about 1 cup
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This filling should be well blended for a luscious texture.
- Assemble the Wonton Bites: Lay a wonton wrapper flat and place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Add a small slice of fresh strawberry on top of the filling. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold to form a triangle or pouch shape, pressing edges firmly to seal.
- Cook Until Golden and Crispy: Choose your cooking method: deep fry in hot oil for 1–2 minutes until golden, or brush each wonton with melted butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until crisp. Both methods create a crunchy exterior that contrasts with the creamy filling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites cool slightly on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil if fried. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Seal edges properly with water or egg wash to keep filling inside.
- Cut strawberries into uniform sizes for even bites and cooking.
- Keep the cream cheese filling chilled until assembly to avoid melting.
- If frying, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil and maintain crispness.
