Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam (good quality, seedless preferred)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced fresh strawberries
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar or granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add vanilla extract and sour cream; mix until incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in strawberry jam, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in finely diced fresh strawberries.

  7. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface.
  8. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
  9. Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with beaten egg.
  10. Fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal.
  11. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  12. Pour vegetable or canola oil into a deep skillet to a depth of 1-2 inches. Heat over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).

  20. Arrange fried wontons on a platter.
  21. Top with strawberry topping (if using).
  22. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

  • Air Fryer Option: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray wontons with cooking spray and air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the wontons.
  • Different Jams: Experiment with raspberry, blueberry, or apricot jam.
  • Lemon Zest: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling.
