Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Can substitute with mascarpone for a richer flavor.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Use granulated sugar if powdered is not available, but it may alter texture slightly.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Substitute with almond extract for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 cup Strawberries Fresh is best, but thawed and drained frozen strawberries can be used in a pinch.
For the Wontons
  • 1 package Wonton Wrappers Spring roll wrappers can be used as an alternative.
For Frying
  • 2 inches Vegetable Oil Can substitute with canola or peanut oil for a different taste.
For the Coating
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust cinnamon level to preference or omit for plain sugar coating.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Equipment

  • deep skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • slotted spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gently fold in diced strawberries, ensuring even distribution. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the Wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper flat. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling into the center. Moisten edges with water, fold in half diagonally, and press out air pockets to seal. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet, pour in vegetable oil to a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping in a small piece of wonton; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
  4. Fry the Wontons: Carefully add wontons to hot oil in batches, frying for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. While wontons are warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Present warm, serving with strawberry jam or whipped cream for dipping.
