Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wontons
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing edges
For Frying
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, diced strawberries, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring a creamy, sweet filling with bits of fresh strawberry.
- Fill the Wontons: Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese and strawberry mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper, taking care not to overfill to avoid bursting during frying.
- Seal the Wontons: Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water and fold over to enclose the filling completely. Press the edges firmly to seal and prevent any oil from leaking out while frying.
- Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot enough to crisp the wontons quickly without absorbing excess oil.
- Fry the Wontons: Carefully place the filled wontons into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side, turning as needed for even cooking.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried wonton bites using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain off any excess oil, ensuring a less greasy result.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the wonton bites cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or add a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra decadence.
Notes
- Ensure not to overfill the wontons to prevent bursting during frying.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Monitor oil temperature closely to avoid soggy or burnt wontons.
- Serving warm enhances the creamy texture of the filling.
- Leftovers can be chilled and reheated in a skillet but are best enjoyed fresh.
