Each bite feels like a carnival treat mixed with fine dining elegance. These little bites are the perfect fusion of East and West, combining the delicate crunch of Asian wonton wrappers with the creamy richness of classic American cheesecake.
Whether served at a party, as a date-night indulgence, or a late-night guilty pleasure, these bites bring smiles and stolen moments of sweetness.
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries (or strawberry preserves for extra sweetness)
For Assembly:
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil, for deep-frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
For Garnish (Optional but Highly Recommended):
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Warm chocolate or caramel sauce
- Extra strawberries, sliced for serving
- A drizzle of honey 🍯
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries or swirl in the strawberry preserves.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Assemble the Wonton Bites:
- Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center.
- Brush the edges lightly with beaten egg, then fold into a triangle (or bring corners together for a purse shape).
- Press edges firmly to seal, making sure no filling leaks out. Repeat with all wrappers.
- Frying Method:
- Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wontons in small batches for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serving:
- Dust with powdered sugar while warm.
- Serve with chocolate, caramel, or strawberry sauce for dipping.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of honey.
Methods
- Deep-Frying Method: Gives the crispiest and most indulgent results.
- Air-Fryer Method (Healthier): Spray wontons lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7–8 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Baking Method (For Large Batches): Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden.
History
Wontons have a deep-rooted history in Chinese cuisine, often filled with savory pork or shrimp. When they traveled across cultures, people began experimenting with sweet fillings, blending traditions. Cheesecake, on the other hand, dates back to ancient Greece, but the New York–style cream cheese version became iconic in America. This recipe is a fusion of heritage — Asian wontons meeting Western cheesecake with a modern twist of strawberries.
Formation
The “formation” of these bites is an art:
- The thin wonton wrapper forms the golden shell.
- The creamy filling forms the heart.
- The strawberry swirl gives it soul.
Together, they create a miniature dessert that looks delicate but delivers big flavors.
Conclusion
Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites are more than just dessert — they are little parcels of joy. Crispy outside, creamy inside, fruity, sweet, and indulgent, they make for a treat you’ll want to share with someone special.
Lovers 💕
This dessert is perfect for lovers — two forks, one plate, and bites stolen between laughter. Imagine feeding each other these warm, sugar-dusted wontons while the strawberry filling peeks out. They make the perfect Valentine’s Day treat, anniversary dessert, or just a surprise for someone you love.
✨ Would you like me to also create a chocolate version (with chocolate cheesecake filling) so you can serve a “duo platter” for lovers — one red (strawberry) and one dark (chocolate)?
