Makes 12–15 bites
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese , softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fresh strawberries , finely diced (or strawberry jam for a shortcut)
For Assembly:
1 package (24-count) wonton wrappers
1 egg , beaten (for sealing)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in diced strawberries.
Chill the filling for 15 minutes to firm up (this prevents leaks!).
Step 2: Assemble the Wontons
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add 1 tsp of filling in the center.
Brush edges with beaten egg, then fold diagonally to form a triangle. Press edges firmly to seal.
Optional: Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
Step 3: Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C) . Fry wontons in batches for 2–3 minutes per side , until golden and crisp.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 4: Coat & Serve
Dust with powdered sugar while warm. For extra flair, drizzle with strawberry glaze or melted chocolate.
Serve immediately for maximum crispiness!
Why This Recipe Works
Cold Filling : Chilling prevents melting during frying.
