Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- ¼ cup strawberries, fresh or frozen, cut into pieces
Wontons
- 8-12 wonton wrappers (3x3 inches)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Topping
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them down too much.
- Fill the Wontons: Lay the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake and strawberry mixture into the center of each wrapper. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal. Carefully bring the sides together to form a small pillow-shaped square, pressing firmly to seal the edges and prevent filling leakage.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Place the filled wontons inside the basket in a single layer without overlapping or stacking to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air Fry the Wontons: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook the wontons for 6 to 8 minutes until the wrappers turn golden brown and crispy. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Carefully remove the wontons from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and an elegant finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh strawberries for a brighter flavor, but frozen strawberries work well if thawed and drained.
- Do not overfill the wontons to prevent bursting during cooking.
- If you prefer, you can brush the wontons with melted butter before air frying to enhance crispiness and flavor.
- Serve these wontons immediately after air frying to enjoy their optimal texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
