Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces wonton wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned cherry pie filling
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (optional, for dusting)
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the egg wash.
Fold the wonton wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Make sure there are no gaps where filling could leak. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the wontons in small batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wontons from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
If desired, sprinkle the fried wontons with granulated sugar while they are still warm for an extra touch of sweetness.
Allow the wontons to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra cherry pie filling and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
