Ingredients
- 16 square wonton wrappers (fresh, not frozen)
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons (16g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (about 80g) fresh strawberries, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil (for brushing)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Extra diced strawberries or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- Chocolate drizzle or melted white chocolate, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and finely dice 1/2 cup fresh strawberries. Toss with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a small bowl and set aside to macerate.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Lay out 16 wonton wrappers. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling into the center of each wrapper, then top with 1/2 teaspoon of the sweetened strawberries.
- Moisten the edges of each wrapper with water. Fold into a triangle or bring all corners together for a purse shape, pressing to seal tightly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) while assembling the wontons.
- Lightly brush the tops and sides of the filled wontons with melted butter or oil. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Check at the 4-minute mark and adjust temperature if needed.
- Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate, or top with extra strawberries as desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Do not overfill the wontons to prevent leaks. Seal edges tightly with water. For extra crispiness, always brush with butter or oil before air frying. These can be assembled ahead and refrigerated or frozen before cooking. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use specialty wrappers and plant-based cream cheese. Best served warm; reheat in air fryer for 1-2 minutes if needed.
