Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberry Sauce:

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries, thawed
  • 6 large fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Red food coloring (optional)

Wontons:

  • 30 wonton wrappers (2-inch squares)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup water
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare the Strawberry Sauce:
    In a small saucepan, combine thawed strawberries and water. In a separate bowl, mix sugar and cornstarch, then add it to the saucepan and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Optionally, add a drop of red food coloring. Pour this mixture over the diced fresh strawberries and stir to combine.

  • Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and flour until smooth. Add the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.

  • Assemble the Wontons:
    Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the egg wash. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the cheesecake filling into the center. Bring the corners together to the center, pinching to form a sealed “X” shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping the assembled wontons covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.

  • Fry the Wontons:
    Heat 1½ inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or wok to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wontons in batches, about five at a time, turning occasionally until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Notes

Alternative Cooking Method: For a healthier option, air fry the wontons at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serving Suggestions: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate, or serve with vanilla ice cream.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
