Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz. cream cheese ((225g))
2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 scallions ((finely chopped))
1 pack wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil ((for frying))
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha ((optional))

Steps:

  • Make the wonton filling by combining the cream cheese, sugar, salt, and scallions.
  • Assemble the wontons. Take each wrapper, and dampen the outer edges with a thin layer of water. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, and fold in half into a triangle. Bring the two corners on the long side of the triangle together, and seal with another dab of water. Continue until all the wontons are assembled.
  • Heat a couple inches of vegetable oil in a small pot until it reaches 375 degrees F. Fry the wontons in batches--about 2 minutes per batch--until golden brown. Definitely use a small pot for this and fry in multiple batches; you'll use much less oil!
  • Make the dipping sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients, and serve with the wontons.

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE WONTONS



Blueberry Cream Cheese Wontons image

While a little time-consuming at first, these come together quickly once you get the hang of them. Use any flavor pie filling you prefer, but chop any large fruit pieces to make the wontons easier to stuff. Perfect for a crowd!

Provided by France C

Categories     Blueberry Desserts

Time 35m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
48 wonton wrappers
1 cup blueberry pie filling
water as needed
cooking spray
¼ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cut 4 ounce block of cream cheese in half, then in half again to create 4 pieces. Further cut each piece in half again so you have 8 equal pieces total. Set aside.
  • Working with 6 wonton wrappers at a time, separate them out onto a clean work surface. Divide one of the cream cheese pieces into 6 pieces and place a piece in the middle of each wonton wrapper. Place 1 teaspoon of blueberry pie filling over the top of the cream cheese. Do not overfill, as the mixture may ooze out.
  • Use your finger to lightly wet the 4 edges of each wonton wrapper. Gently fold in half diagonally to make a triangle, then bring up the remaining two corners so all corners join together. Try not to leave excess air in the wonton, which can cause them to burst. Press seams together to ensure a tight seal. Set wontons aside, covered in a damp paper towel, while you finish making the remaining wontons.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Spray the inner basket with cooking spray and place as many wontons in basket as will fit, without overcrowding. Lightly mist wontons with cooking spray.
  • Air-fry for 5 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar. Let cool while you cook the remaining wontons in batches. Best served slightly warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a crispier wonton, pan-fry them over medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
  • To make sure the wontons are cooked through, cook them until they float to the top of the water when boiling or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • You can adjust the amount of cream cheese filling to your liking. For a more generous filling, use 2 tablespoons of cream cheese per wonton.
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavors of cream cheese. You could use flavored cream cheese, such as chive and onion or smoked salmon, to add a different dimension of flavor to the wontons.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, duck sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese filled wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
