Ingredients

For the Filling

• 1 cup (230g) full-fat cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ cup (75g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  (or use ¼ cup strawberry jam for a smoother texture)

For Assembly & Frying

• 8–10 square wonton wrappers

• 1 cup (240ml) neutral oil (vegetable or canola), for frying

• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

• Optional: warm strawberry jam or chocolate sauce for dipping

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries (or strawberry jam for a smoother filling). Set aside.

Step 2: Fill the Wontons

Lay the wonton wrappers on a clean surface.

Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during frying.

Step 3: Seal the Wontons

Moisten the edges of each wrapper with water using your finger.

Fold each one into a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal.

Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired for extra security and decoration.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

Pour oil into a deep skillet or pot and heat to 350°F (175°C).

Test the temperature by dropping in a small piece of wonton—if it sizzles and rises quickly, it’s ready.

Step 5: Fry the Wontons

Working in small batches, fry 3–4 wontons at a time for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the wontons warm. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Offer strawberry jam or chocolate sauce on the side for dipping.

Every bite is creamy, crispy, and delightfully sweet!

Tips & Variations

• Use strawberry jam instead of fresh berries for a smoother, thicker filling.

• Add a few mini chocolate chips to the filling for a chocolate-strawberry twist.

• Make ahead: prep and fill wontons, then refrigerate until ready to fry.

• For a baked version, brush filled wontons with oil and bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I air fry these instead of deep frying?

Yes! Spray with oil and air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

You can, but thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture.

How long do leftovers keep?

Best eaten fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for 1 day and reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
