What is the best way to seal the wontons so the filling doesn't leak out?

The best way to seal the wontons is to use a generous amount of egg wash and press the edges firmly. Make sure there are no air bubbles trapped inside.

How long do I need to fry the wontons?

Fry the deep fried strawberry cheescake stuffed wonton bites for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the cheesecake filling.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wontons ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to fry them. However, it's best to fry them just before serving for optimal crispiness.

What temperature should the oil be for frying?

The oil should be heated to 350°F (175°C) for frying. Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Baking these is possible, but the texture will be different. They will be less crispy and more like baked dumplings. For more ideas, check out our guide on high protein chicken Zucchini bake. If baking, brush with melted butter and bake at 375F until golden.

How do I prevent the wontons from sticking together while frying?

Make sure the oil is hot enough and don't overcrowd the fryer. Fry the wontons in batches to prevent sticking.

Ingredients

Scale

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

3. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries (avoid overmixing).

4. Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Brush the edges with the beaten egg wash.

5. Place a small spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of the cheesecake filling in the center of the wonton wrapper.

6. Fold the wonton wrapper over to form a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal (remove air bubbles).

7. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

8. Fry the wonton bites a few at a time for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy (don’t overcrowd).

9. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

10. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm (best enjoyed immediately).

Notes

Keep the filling thick: dice strawberries small and fold gently to avoid excess liquid.

Seal well to prevent leaks—press out air and crimp edges if needed.

Fry in small batches so the oil temperature stays steady and the wontons stay crisp.

Best served right away; if needed, re-crisp in a 375°F oven for 4–6 minutes.
