Why this sweet & crispy fusion works

The warm, golden wonton shell cracks open to reveal a smooth cheesecake filling swirled with strawberry jam. It’s that sweet-salty balance, crisp meets creamy, that wins everyone over.

When I first made these, I didn’t expect them to become such a hit. Alex asked for “something quick but sweet” one rainy evening, and I threw these together on a whim. Ten minutes later, we were both hovering over the plate, stealing seconds. Even Crumpet the cat looked impressed.

Origin & inspiration

These Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites were inspired by a mix of memories and a little curiosity. Growing up just outside Bath, jam tarts were our go-to weekend bake. This is my playful update cheesecake instead of custard, wonton wrappers instead of pastry.

It’s that blend of comfort and crunch that makes them perfect for everything from casual snacking to showing off at your next get-together. They remind me of classic English tea sweets but with a crispy twist that’s right at home here in Toronto.

Wonton wrappers & frying basics

The wrappers are what turn these from cheesecake filling into Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites. Wonton skins are thin, easy to fold, and fry to a perfect golden crisp. Spoon a small amount of the filling into the center, wet the edges with water, and seal into triangles or bite-sized bundles. Press tight so the filling doesn’t leak when cooking.

Heat your oil to 350°F and fry the bites a few at a time, flipping once until they’re golden brown usually 2 to 3 minutes per side. Prefer a lighter option? Baking Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites is a great alternative if you prefer less oil. Place them on a baking sheet and cook at 350°F until crisp and golden.

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Prep: filling, wrapping, sealing

To make Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites, start by mixing the filling until it’s smooth and creamy. Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and mix until smooth and creamy. Then stir in the strawberry jam and, if using, some diced fresh strawberries. That’s it your filling is ready.

Next, lay out your wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges. Fold each wrapper into a triangle or neat pouch, then press the edges firmly to seal this keeps the filling safely tucked in during frying.

Cooking: frying & baking options

Now it’s time to cook your Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F. Fry just a few bites at a time so the oil stays hot and the wrappers crisp up evenly. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown, then place them on paper towels to drain.

Prefer not to fry? You can bake Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites instead. Arrange them on a lined baking sheet, lightly brush with oil, and bake at 350°F until crisp and golden. They’ll still have that sweet crunch, just a little lighter.

Serving Ideas, Storage & Variations

Serving suggestions

Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites are delicious on their own, but a few extras can take them to the next level. Try serving them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of whipped cream or strawberry jam for dipping. They also pair beautifully with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate for a fancier finish.

If you’re making these for a party, pile them on a platter and add a small bowl of jam or caramel sauce in the center. They look impressive, and guests love how easy they are to grab and enjoy. These sweet bites also work well with a cup of hot tea or chilled lemonade on the side.

Tips for parties, storing, reheating

Planning ahead? Deep-Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Wonton Bites are perfect make-ahead treats. Feel free to fill and fold the wontons ahead of time just keep them covered with a damp towel in the fridge until it’s time to fry.

You can fry them straight from froze just give them an extra minute in the oil.

Leftovers (if there are any!) can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in a 350°F oven for about 5–7 minutes to bring back that crisp texture. Avoid the microwave it softens the wrappers too much.
