These Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites are irresistibly crispy on the outside with a creamy, sweet strawberry cheesecake filling inside. Perfect as a fun dessert or a party appetizer, they combine the rich flavors of cream cheese and strawberry jam encased in crispy fried wonton wrappers.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • Fresh strawberries, diced (optional)

Assembly

  • 20–24 wonton wrappers
  • Water, for sealing the edges

Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Serving

  • Whipped cream (for serving)
  • Extra strawberry jam or sauce (for serving)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add a small dollop of strawberry jam in the center of each filling portion, or mix a few diced strawberries into the filling for added texture and flavor.
  2. Fill wonton wrappers: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle or envelope shape. Press firmly to seal and remove any air bubbles around the filling. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
  3. Heat oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry wontons: Fry the wontons in batches, about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
  5. Drain excess oil: Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. Serve: Serve the crispy strawberry cheesecake wontons warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices on the side.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overfill the wontons to prevent them from bursting during frying.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the filling by adding more or less powdered sugar according to your preference.
  • These wontons can be prepared ahead of time and frozen. Fry them directly from frozen right before serving for convenience.
  • Use vegetable oil with a high smoke point for frying to ensure crispiness and prevent burning.
  • If you prefer, you can lightly dust the fried wontons with powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness and presentation.
