Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 226.8 g cream cheese softened
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 12 sheets wonton wrappers
- null cooking oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle, pressing the edges to seal and remove any air pockets.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and cream cheese mixture.
- Heat about 2 inches of cooking oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully fry the wontons in batches, about 2-3 at a time, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or fruit compote.
Notes
Store any leftover, unfried wontons in the refrigerator, separated by parchment paper. For best results, fry them fresh. If you prefer not to fry, these can also be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
