Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
20-24 wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Optional: Chocolate or strawberry sauce for drizzling
Directions
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the finely diced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
2. Assemble the Wontons
Lay one wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the strawberry cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold it diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges tightly to seal and ensuring there are no air pockets.
For extra security, fold the two outer corners of the triangle inward and press to seal. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
3. Fry the Wontons
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons in small batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Garnish and Serve
Dust the wontons with powdered sugar while still warm for a touch of sweetness.
Optionally, drizzle with chocolate or strawberry sauce for an extra layer of decadence.
5. Enjoy!
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Helpful Tips
To prevent the wontons from opening while frying, ensure the edges are sealed tightly and press firmly after folding.
If you prefer a baked version, brush the wontons lightly with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy
