Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup finely chopped strawberries
Wonton Bites
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Strawberry sauce or jam
- Whipped cream
Why These Ingredients Work
Cream cheese creates a rich, smooth filling while strawberries add natural sweetness and freshness. Wonton wrappers fry up light and crispy, making them the perfect dessert shell.
Ingredient Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Fresh strawberries work best; pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.
- Powdered sugar blends smoothly without graininess.
- Wonton wrappers are ideal because they cook quickly and turn golden and crisp.
- For less sweetness, reduce sugar slightly and rely on strawberry flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well combined.
Step 2: Add Strawberries
Gently fold in chopped strawberries. The filling should be thick, creamy, and lightly pink with visible strawberry bits.
Step 3: Assemble the Wonton Bites
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling to the center. Brush edges lightly with beaten egg.
Step 4: Seal the Wontons
Fold the wrapper diagonally into a triangle or bring all corners together into a pouch. Press firmly to seal and prevent leaks.
Step 5: Fry Until Golden
Heat oil to medium-high. Fry wontons in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
Step 6: Finish & Serve
Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with strawberry sauce before serving. The outside will be crisp while the inside stays creamy and warm.

Pro Tips & Variations
- Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes for a lighter version.
