Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Optional: Stir in some diced fresh strawberries for texture and extra strawberry flavor.
2️⃣ Assemble the Wontons:
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center.
- Add a dollop of strawberry jam right on top of the filling.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold into a triangle or envelope shape. Press the edges to seal and gently squeeze out any air pockets.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
3️⃣ Fry to Perfection:
- In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry wontons in small batches for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove and transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
4️⃣ Serve & Devour:
Serve warm with whipped cream, a drizzle or dip of extra strawberry jam, and fresh strawberries on the side. Absolute bliss!
