Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half to form a triangle.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.
- Fry the wonton bites in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Remove the bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- You can try adding a bit of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for an added citrus flavor.
- If you want to make these ahead, freeze the filled wontons before frying, then fry directly from the freezer for a quick treat.
- Be sure to watch the frying closely as the wontons can brown quickly.
