Tips to Make Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites
- Make sure the cream cheese is soft; it makes the filling easier to mix.
- Don’t overfill the wonton wrappers, or they may burst while frying.
- Keep an eye on the oil temperature; if it’s too hot, the bites will burn, and if it’s too cool, they won’t get crispy.
Variation
You can try using different jams or fresh fruits for the filling! Raspberry or blueberry jam works wonderfully too. Feel free to experiment and make your own version of these bites!
