20–24 wonton wrappers

Instructions
-
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add strawberry jam or diced strawberries for extra flavor if desired.
-
Assemble the Wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling into the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wonton into a triangle or envelope shape, pressing edges firmly to seal.
-
Fry the Wonton Bites: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam, or fresh strawberry slices
Notes
-
For a different flavor, try using raspberry or mixed berry jam.
-
Add lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for a citrusy twist.
-
For a sweeter alternative, swap the strawberry jam for chocolate, caramel, or Nutella.
-
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to restore their crispiness.
