    Strawberry Cheesecake Wontons with a cheesecake filling deep fried until they’re golden brown and crispy, then served with a sweet, fresh strawberry sauce.

    When we go out for Chinese food, I often order cream cheese wontons for an appetizer. They’re generally served with a sweet orange sauce, and I some times wonder why they aren’t served for dessert.

    So when I signed up to bring dessert for this month’s Asian Feast virtual progressive dinner, I decided I would serve wontons for dessert. I started with my popular Strawberry Cheesecake recipe and transformed it in to Strawberry Cheesecake Wontons.

    Strawberry Cheesecake Wontons with a cheesecake filling deep fried until they’re golden brown and crispy, then served with a sweet, fresh strawberry sauce.

    I don’t often fry foods at home, but if you want to get a crispy, restaurant-style wonton, you’ve got to fry them.

    The recipe makes thirty wontons, but these are so crispy, sweet and delicious that thirty may not be enough.

    Strawberry Cheesecake Wontons

    Keyword: Dessert, fruit
    Servings: 30 wontons

    Ingredients

    • 1 8- ounce package cream cheese room temperature
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tablespoon sour cream
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 30 2- inch square won ton wrappers
    • ½ cup water
    • 1 egg
    • 1 cup frozen strawberries thawed
    • 6 large fresh strawberries diced
    • 3 tablespoon water
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
    • red food coloring optional

    Instructions

    • Prepare Strawberry Sauce: Add thawed strawberries and water to a small saucepan. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cornstarch; add to saucepan and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until thickened and clear. Add a drop of red food coloring, if using. Pour cooked strawberry mixture over diced strawberries in a mixing bowl, and stir to combine.
    • Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and flour until smooth. Beat in the egg, sour cream, and vanilla just until blended.
    • Create egg wash: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup water and 1 egg.
    • Assemble the wontons: Place wrapper on a work surface. Dip a finger in the egg wash, and paint all 4 edges with the wash. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the cheesecake mixture into the center of the wrapper. Bring the corners of the wonton together to the center and pinch together to form an "X"; pinch the edges to seal. Place folded wonton on a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying out. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
    • Frying wontons: Add 1 ½ inches of vegetable oil to a large wok or deep pot. Heat the oil to 375°. Add five wontons at a time to the oil and fry, turning occasionally until they are golden brown. Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

      Your instructions say to add salt when mixing the cheesecake filing, but salt is not listed as an ingredient. How much salt is needed?

        Hi Evelyn. I actually didn’t add salt to the recipe. I forgot to remove the reference when I reduced it from the original recipe. You could add just a pinch if you wanted too. Enjoy!

      I don’t think I’d ever want to stop eating these! I’ve always loved cream cheese wontons (since childhood), but never really thought about taking them into dessert territory. Now that’s all I’ll be able to think about!

      What scrumptious cross-cultural morsels! I love the surprise of biting into a wonton and getting a strawberry cheesecake. But I’m impatient and can’t wait for dessert. I wish a few of these were on a plate right next to my cup of morning coffee.

      I have been looking forward to reading your post since I saw what you were making, Barbara! Delicious! Since I made egg rolls, I had been kicking around the idea of making a cheesecake egg roll. I think we should probably turn all the Fried Things into Cheesecake Fried Things! =)
