Ingredients
Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- ¼ cup strawberries, fresh or frozen, cut into pieces
Wontons
- 8-12 wonton wrappers (3×3 inches)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Topping
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries to distribute evenly without breaking them up.
- Assemble the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the strawberry cheesecake mixture into the center of each wrapper. Lightly brush the edges of each wonton with water to help seal them. Fold the wrappers by bringing the sides together, forming a small pillow-shaped square, and press edges firmly to seal.
- Prepare the air fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Place the filled wontons in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
- Air fry the wontons: Set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Air fry the wontons for 6 to 8 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy. Check halfway through to ensure even cooking, adjusting times if necessary based on your air fryer model.
- Finish and serve: Carefully remove the wontons from the air fryer basket. While still warm, sprinkle them with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth filling.
- Use fresh strawberries when possible for the best flavor; frozen can be substituted but should be thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
- Seal the wontons well with water on the edges to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- You can brush the wontons lightly with melted butter before air frying for extra crispiness and a golden hue.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping.
- Serve as a quick dessert or a sweet snack with coffee or tea.
