Instructions

Preparing the Cheesecake Filling

1.In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

2.Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

3.Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.

Stuffing and Sealing the Wontons

1.Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface, and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture in the center.

2.Wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingers or a brush.

3.Fold the wrapper into a triangle or an envelope shape, sealing the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.

4.Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Deep-Frying Tips for Crispy Perfection

1.Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot but not smoking.

2.Fry the stuffed wontons in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

3.Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

4.Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
