Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or granulated sugar) (60 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 20 pieces wonton wrappers (or egg roll wrappers)
  • 2-3 cups canola oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Blend until creamy and smooth.
  2. Place one wonton wrapper, put a small scoop of the cream cheese filling in the center, wet the edges with water, and fold diagonally to seal.
  3. In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat the canola oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Carefully place the assembled wontons into the hot oil and fry for 45 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  5. If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), arrange the wontons on a greased baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.
  6. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate sauce.
