Directions:
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add a small dollop of strawberry jam to each filling portion, or mix in a few diced strawberries for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the Wonton Bites:
Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it over the filling to create a triangle or envelope shape. Press firmly to seal, removing any air bubbles around the filling.
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Fry the Wonton Bites:
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve:
Serve the wonton bites warm with whipped cream, extra strawberry jam or sauce for dipping, and fresh strawberry slices on the side.
