Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the Wontons:
-
12–16 wonton wrappers
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
¼ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries (drained if juicy)
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
-
Optional dusting: ¼ cup granulated sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon
Directions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of heavy cream to adjust the consistency.
Step 2: Prepare the Wontons
Place a wonton wrapper on your work surface. Spoon about 1–2 tsp of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, then fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring the corners together to seal, pressing firmly to ensure the edges are sealed tightly.
Step 3: Fry the Wontons
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a pot to around 350°F. Fry the wontons in batches for 2–3 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy. Once done, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 4: Add the Sweet Dusting
While the wontons are still warm, dust them with granulated sugar and optional cinnamon for an added touch of sweetness and crunch.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the crispy wontons immediately while they’re still warm for the best texture and flavor!
