• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Chocolate or caramel sauce for drizzling

• Paper towels
• Tongs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Stir until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries and strawberry jam.
Set aside or refrigerate for 5–10 minutes to firm up slightly.

Step 2: Fill the Wontons
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along all four edges of the wrapper.
Fold into a triangle, pressing the edges to seal.
Optionally, bring the two corners together and press to form a wonton “purse” shape.
Repeat with all wrappers.

Step 3: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Use enough oil to submerge the wontons halfway.
Test with a small piece of wrapper—it should sizzle and rise to the top.

Step 4: Fry the Wonton Bites
Fry 4–5 wontons at a time, turning occasionally for even browning.
Cook for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
Let cool slightly.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve
Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
Drizzle with chocolate, caramel, or strawberry sauce if desired.
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Tips for Perfect Wonton Bites
Seal Edges Well – Press firmly to prevent the filling from leaking while frying.
Don’t Overfill – A small spoonful of filling is enough to keep them sealed and neat.
Control Oil Temp – Use a thermometer for best results; too hot and they’ll burn, too cool and they’ll get soggy.
Serve Warm – Best enjoyed fresh for that perfect crispy bite.
Try Variations – Use blueberries, raspberries, or even Nutella in place of strawberries.

Serving Suggestions
Dessert Platter – Pair with mini brownies, cookies, and fruit for a sweet spread.
With Ice Cream – Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla or strawberry ice cream.
Party Snack – Stick a toothpick in each bite for a fun and easy finger food.
Drizzle Zone – Set out sauces like chocolate, caramel, or berry puree so everyone can customize their own.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
Store leftover wonton bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheating:
Air Fryer: Reheat at 350°F for 3–4 minutes to regain crispiness.
Oven: Bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes on a lined tray.
Microwave: Not recommended, as the wrappers will become soft.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes! Brush them with oil and bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

2. Can I make them ahead of time?
You can prep and fill the wontons ahead, then refrigerate (uncooked) for up to 4 hours before frying.

3. Can I use frozen strawberries?
Fresh is best for texture, but you can use thawed frozen strawberries—just blot excess moisture first.

4. What kind of oil is best for frying?
Neutral oils like vegetable or canola are perfect due to their high smoke point.

5. Can I freeze them?
Yes! Freeze uncooked filled wontons on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry straight from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes extra cook time.
