How to Make Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Wontons
1. Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix:
Cream cheese
Powdered sugar
Vanilla
Fold in chopped strawberry filling until smooth and creamy.
2. Fill the Wontons
Lay a wonton wrapper flat
Add 1 teaspoon filling to the center
Lightly wet edges with water
Fold into a triangle (or bring all corners together for a pouch)
Press edges tightly to seal
💡 Tip: Don’t overfill—cheesecake escapes fast when frying!
3. Heat the Oil
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan or fryer.
4. Fry Until Golden
Fry 3–4 wontons at a time
Cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown
Remove and drain on paper towels
5. Finish & Serve
Dust with powdered sugar
Drizzle with chocolate or caramel if desired
Serve warm for maximum wow factor
Pro Tips for Perfect Wontons ✨
