Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sour cream
- ¼ cup strawberries, fresh or frozen, cut into pieces
Wontons
- 8-12 wonton wrappers (3×3 inches)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Topping
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
- Fill the wonton wrappers: Lay the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place a small spoonful of the cheesecake and strawberry mixture in the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrappers with a little water to help seal them. Fold the sides together and press firmly to create small pillow-shaped squares, ensuring they are well sealed to prevent leaking during cooking.
- Prepare for air frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the filled wontons into the basket in a single layer without stacking or overlapping, so they cook evenly.
- Air fry the wontons: Set the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and air fry the wontons for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve and garnish: Carefully remove the crispy wontons from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. Dust them lightly with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Variations: Add a squirt of fresh lemon juice to the cheesecake filling for a bright citrus flavor.
- Top with caramel sauce: Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the cooked wontons or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
- Fruit variations: Substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries, cherries, or raspberries to create different flavor profiles.
- Chocolate drizzle: The crisp triangle shape of the wontons makes them perfect for drizzling with chocolate syrup or serving as a dipper for your favorite chocolate sauce.
