Deep Fried Wonton Bites Stuffed with Strawberry Cheesecake
These Strawberry Cheesecake Wonton Bites are a crispy, creamy dessert perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime you’re craving something indulgent yet fun. Fresh strawberries and cream cheese create a luscious filling that’s sealed in a delicate wonton wrapper and deep-fried to golden perfection. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate or strawberry glaze for the ultimate treat.
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
For assembly:
- 20 wonton wrappers
- Small bowl of water (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For serving:
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Optional: melted chocolate or strawberry sauce for drizzling
Instructions
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold in the chopped strawberries gently.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the strawberry cheesecake filling in the center.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle or desired shape, pressing to seal tightly.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the stuffed wontons in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 1–2 minutes per side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Drizzle with melted chocolate or strawberry sauce if desired.
Notes
-
Don’t overfill the wrappers or they may burst during frying.
-
You can prep and refrigerate the wontons ahead of time—just fry before serving.
-
For a healthier version, bake or air-fry instead of deep-frying.
-
Pair with coffee, fruit, or sparkling drinks for a well-rounded dessert experience.
-
Freeze extras in a single layer, then transfer to a container for easy reheating.
