Equipment

  • large pot or dutch oven

Ingredients

  • 32 Wonton Wrappers
  • 1/2 cup Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Icing Sugar or to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Cherry Pie Filling
  • Water as needed
  • 4 cups Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered icing sugar, vanilla extract and greek yogurt until smooth and well-combined.
  • Lay a few wontons out on a cutting board and place a wet paper towel over the remaining wonton wrappers to keep them from drying out.
  • Scoop 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling and 1 teaspoon of the cherry pie filling onto the center of each wonton wrapper.
  • Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with a bit of water and then fold over into a triangle shape, pressing to seal and remove all air from the wonton.
  • Repeat with all wonton wrappers.
  • Place the cooking oil in a heavy pan or dutch oven and heat to 300F.
  • Fry the wontons 3-4 at a time until lightly golden, flipping over halfway through cooking, about 3 minutes each batch.
  • Repeat until all wontons are fried.

Notes

  • For the crispiest wontons, make sure not to overcrowd the pot when frying.
  • If you are having trouble getting your wontons to stick, you can use an egg white and water mixture to help. However plain water worked just fine for me.
  • If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell that the oil is hot enough for frying when a small piece of wonton wrapper dropped into it sizzles and crisps up quickly.
  • Use your favorite oil for deep frying, I prefer to use canola oil, but you could also use vegetable oil.
  • Sprinkle the top of these with powdered sugar, or drizzle with chocolate sauce while they are still warm.
