πŸ“ Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites 🧁 Slogan: Sweet, shareable indulgence for your family to enjoy! Perfect for dessert time or celebrations. 🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️ - 8 oz cream cheese, softened - Vegetable oil, for frying - ΒΌ cup powdered sugar - Fresh strawberries, diced (optional, for extra strawberry flavor) - 20-24 wonton wrappers - Water, for sealing the edges - Β½ tsp vanilla extract - ΒΌ cup strawberry jam or preserves πŸ§‘β€πŸ³ Directions πŸ§‘β€πŸ³ 1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add a small dollop of strawberry jam in the center for extra lushness. If you'd like extra texture, fold in a few diced strawberries. 2. Lay a wonton wrapper flat on your work surface. Place around a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling right in the middle of the wrapper. 3. Dab water along the edges of the wonton wrapper using your fingertip. Fold it into a triangle shape or a neat envelope, ensuring all edges are sealed tightly. Press out any air trapped inside. Repeat for all wrappers. 4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Test the oil with a small piece of wonton; it should sizzle immediately. 5. Carefully add the stuffed wontons to the hot oil in small batches β€” don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. 6. Remove cooked wontons using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. 7. Serve these bites warm alongside whipped cream, strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and garnish with sliced fresh strawberries, if desired. 🍎 Nutritional Information 🍎 - Calories: Approximately 100-120 per wonton bite - Carbohydrates: 10g - Protein: 2g - Fat: 7g - Sugar: 4g - Perfect for a quick sweet fix! πŸ’‘ Tips and Tricks πŸ’‘ - Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother filling. If it’s too stiff, let it sit at room temperature for around 30 minutes. - Use a pastry brush if you find it easier to spread water on the wonton wrappers. - To keep the oil at a steady temperature, use a cooking thermometer while frying. A lower temperature can make the wontons absorb excess oil, while a higher one may burn them. - Store leftover wontons in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day, then reheat in an oven for crispiness. ⏳ Preparation time 🍰 Preparation time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 10-15 minutes | Servings: 20-24 bites
