1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in diced strawberries. Chill the filling for 20–30 minutes to firm it up for easier handling.
2. Fill the Wontons
Place a wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Brush the edges lightly with beaten egg, then fold into a triangle or purse shape. Press edges firmly to seal—no leaks allowed!
3. Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot enough to sizzle but not smoke.
4. Fry to Golden Perfection
Carefully drop 3–4 wontons into the oil at a time. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, until crispy and golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel–lined plate.
5. Dust and Serve
Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate or strawberry sauce, and serve warm.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause the wontons to burst while frying.
- Seal tightly: Use enough egg wash to keep the edges closed.
- Work in batches: Frying too many at once lowers the oil temperature and makes them soggy.
- Try variations: Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or even Nutella for a fun twist.
Perfect Pairings
These cheesecake wonton bites are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them further:
- Serve with a bowl of vanilla ice cream for hot-and-cold contrast.
- Pair with a glass of sparkling wine for an elegant touch.
- Offer a trio of dipping sauces—chocolate, caramel, and strawberry—for variety.
