Description
Delicious deep-fried wontons filled with a rich cheesecake mixture and a blueberry swirl.
Ingredients
Scale
- Cheesecake Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- Blueberry Swirl
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- Wontons
20 to 24 wonton wrappers - 1 large egg, beaten
- Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, for frying
- Optional Garnishes
Powdered sugar, for dusting - Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
- Extra blueberry sauce
Instructions
- Combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries have softened and released their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixed with water and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk, mixing until creamy and homogenous. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm the filling.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add 1 teaspoon cheesecake filling and 1/2 teaspoon blueberry swirl to the center. Brush edges with beaten egg. Fold into a triangle or desired shape, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Dust fried wontons with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Accompany with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or additional blueberry sauce as desired.
Notes
- Ensure oil is at the correct temperature for frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- These wontons can be made ahead of time and frozen before frying.
