  • Simple ingredients
  • Quick to prepare
  • Perfect finger food dessert

The contrast between crispy fried wrapper and smooth cheesecake filling makes these bites truly addictive. Plus, strawberries add a fresh, fruity brightness that balances the richness of the cream cheese.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
  • 20–24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Strawberry sauce (optional for dipping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

2. Fold in Strawberries

Gently stir in the finely chopped strawberries. Make sure excess moisture is minimal to prevent soggy wrappers.

3. Assemble the Wontons

Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.

4. Seal the Edges

Lightly beat the egg and brush it around the edges of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle or bring corners together to form a pouch. Press edges firmly to seal.

5. Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

6. Fry Until Golden

Carefully add wonton bites in small batches. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

7. Drain

Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

8. Dust & Serve

Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with strawberry sauce for dipping.

Tips for Perfect Crispy Cheesecake Bites

Don’t Overfill

Too much filling can cause leaks during frying.

Seal Tightly

Press out any air pockets before sealing to prevent bursting.

Maintain Oil Temperature

If oil is too cool, wontons absorb excess oil. If too hot, they brown too quickly without heating the center.

Fry in Batches

Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain consistent temperature.

Variations to Try

Chocolate Strawberry

Add mini chocolate chips to the filling.

Blueberry Cheesecake

Swap strawberries for blueberries.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Instead of powdered sugar, roll warm bites in cinnamon sugar.

Air Fryer Option

Brush lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.
