How to make Decadent Crispy Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Add Strawberries

Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and strawberry jam until evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.

Step 3: Fill the Wontons

Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4: Seal the Wontons

Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges and prevent filling from leaking out during frying.

Chef’s Tip: Make sure the edges are sealed tightly! This will prevent the filling from oozing out during frying.

Step 5: Repeat

Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.

Step 6: Fry the Wontons

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7: Fry Until Golden

Carefully add the wonton bites to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Chef’s Tip: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. If the oil is not hot enough, the wontons will be greasy.

Step 8: Drain

Remove the fried wonton bites from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9: Serve

Dust the crispy strawberry cheesecake wonton bites with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy! If you love cheesecake bars, then try these cherry chocolate brownie cheesecake bars.

Tips for Success

• Soften the cream cheese completely to avoid lumps in the filling.
• Don’t overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent them from bursting.
• Fry the wontons in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
• Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.

Serving Suggestions

These crispy strawberry cheesecake wonton bites are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with:

• A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel sauce
• Fresh berries for a burst of extra flavor

Storage & Reheating

For best results, serve these wonton bites immediately while they are still warm and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but they will lose some of their crispness. To reheat, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes, or air fry them for a crispier result.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use different types of berries?

  Yes! Blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries would all work well in this recipe.

• Can I make these ahead of time?

  You can prepare the filling and assemble the wontons ahead of time, but it’s best to fry them just before serving for optimal crispness.

• Can I bake these instead of frying?

  While frying provides the best texture, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. They will be less crispy than the fried version.
