Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Fold the wonton wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. You can also fold it into a purse shape or any desired shape.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and cream cheese filling.
In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm. They are delicious on their own or with a dipping sauce like raspberry or chocolate sauce.
Notes
For a sweeter filling, you can add a tablespoon of powdered sugar. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
