🍓 Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites

📝 Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced (or strawberry jam/preserves for easier handling)

• Optional: 1–2 tsp lemon juice for brightness

For the wontons:

• 24 wonton wrappers

• 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)

For frying:

• Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Optional toppings:

• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

• Melted chocolate or strawberry sauce (for drizzling)

• Whipped cream (for serving)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the cheesecake filling:

   • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

   • Gently fold in the finely diced strawberries (or swirl in a bit of jam).

   • Chill the mixture for 15–20 minutes to firm it up for easier stuffing.

2. Assemble the wonton bites:

   • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface.

   • Spoon about 1 tsp of cheesecake filling into the center.

   • Moisten the edges with beaten egg.

   • Fold into a triangle or bring all four corners together to form a little pouch and pinch to seal well.

   • Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the wontons:

   • Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

   • Fry 4–5 wontons at a time, about 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

   • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

   • Dust with powdered sugar.

   • Drizzle with melted chocolate or strawberry sauce if desired.

   • Serve warm, optionally with a side of whipped cream.
