Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
- Lay out wonton wrappers and place about one tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture in the center of each wrapper. Moisten edges with water and fold over to seal tightly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of wonton; it should sizzle.
- Fry sealed wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
