Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened

  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

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.
