Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup strawberry jam
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
- Whipped cream and extra strawberry jam, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Mix in diced strawberries if using, or prepare to add a small dollop of strawberry jam to each portion.
- Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Add a small dollop of strawberry jam. Brush edges with water, fold into a triangle, and seal tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in batches, 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices.
Notes
Ensure oil is at 350°F to prevent sogginess and bursting. Seal wontons tightly to avoid filling leaks during frying. Dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. Make ahead and freeze uncooked wontons for quick frying later.
