  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sandwiches

Ingredients

Filling

  • Cream cheese – 8 oz, softened
  • Fresh strawberries – 1 cup, finely chopped
  • Sugar – 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Assembly and Frying

  • Wonton wrappers or pastry dough – 24 wrappers or equivalent dough squares
  • Oil for frying – 2-3 cups of neutral oil with a high smoke point (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
  • Optional powdered sugar – for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, finely chopped fresh strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth but still slightly chunky to keep texture from the strawberries.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out wonton wrappers or dough squares on a clean surface. Spoon a modest amount of the cheesecake-strawberry filling into the center of each. Top with another wrapper or fold the dough over to form a sandwich. Press edges firmly to seal well and prevent filling leakage during frying. Use water or egg wash to help seal edges if desired.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C). Test the temperature by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil—it should bubble and rise quickly.
  4. Fry the Sandwiches: Carefully place a few sandwiches into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Maintain consistent oil temperature for even cooking.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove sandwiches with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the sandwiches to prevent leaking.
  • Seal the edges tightly using water or egg wash.
  • Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) during frying.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Enjoy the sandwiches immediately while warm and crispy.
