Sweet Cream Cheese Wontons are a delightful dessert with a creamy filling wrapped in crispy wontons, easy to make and perfect for parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz. softened cream cheese
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 12 oz. wonton wraps
- 1 egg, whisked with a splash of water
- 48 oz. canola oil (for frying)
- Nonstick Cooking Spray (for baking)
Instructions
- Mix the powdered sugar and cream cheese together until well combined.
- Lay out about 4 wontons at a time and cover the remaining with a dish towel.
- Fill a small bowl with water and set it near the wontons.
- Place about a ½ teaspoon of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each wonton.
- Dip your fingers into the whisked egg/water mixture and fold the wontons diagonally to form a triangle. Seal and ensure that there are no air bubbles.
- Dip your fingers back into the water and fold the left side to the right, then fold the left side over it, to the right.
- Repeat until all wontons are filled and wrapped.
- To Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a dutch oven until just under 350 degrees. Test the temperature using an extra wonton wrapper.
- Fry 4-5 wontons at a time for about 45 seconds to a minute until golden brown. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to cool.
- To Bake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and heat in the oven for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the wontons on top, and coat lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, checking after 5 minutes. Remove from the oven when crisp and golden brown.
- To Air Fry: Brush each wonton lightly with oil and air fry at 370 degrees for 7-8 minutes until browned and crispy.
Notes
- Make sure not to overfill the wontons to prevent them from bursting while cooking.
- Adjust frying time based on the size of the wontons and your specific fryer.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
