Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- ¼ cup strawberries, fresh or frozen, cut into small pieces
Wontons
- 8 to 12 wonton wrappers (3x3 inches)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Water for sealing edges
Topping
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and well blended. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries to incorporate them evenly without breaking them up too much.
- Fill the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the strawberry cheesecake filling into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger or a brush, moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wonton to form a pillow shape, bringing the sides together and pressing firmly to seal.
- Arrange for air frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Place the filled wontons in the basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch or overlap, to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air fry the wontons: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook the wontons for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Check halfway through to ensure even cooking; adjust time as needed based on your air fryer model.
- Finish and serve: Carefully remove the wontons from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. Sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar over the top for a sweet finishing touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and smoother filling.
- If fresh strawberries are unavailable, frozen can be used but thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent soggy filling.
- Do not overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent leaking during cooking.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be baked at 375°F (190°C) on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the filling.
- Serve with a drizzle of honey or a fruit sauce for added sweetness if desired.
