Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package (about 30–40) square wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil for frying (or nonstick spray for baking)
- Optional: raspberry or strawberry jam for dipping
Instructions
Option 1: Fried (Classic Crispy)
- Make filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fill wontons: Place 1 tsp filling in center of each wrapper. Brush edges with beaten egg. Fold into triangles or rectangles, pressing edges to seal tightly.
- Fry: Heat 1–2″ oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in batches 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Option 2: Baked (Lighter)
- Follow steps 1–2 above.
- Bake: Arrange on a parchment-lined sheet. Lightly spray with oil. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel—they dry out fast!
– For extra flavor, add ¼ tsp lemon zest or a pinch of cinnamon to the filling.
– Serve warm with fruit jam, honey, or chocolate sauce for dipping.
