A delightful twist on the classic fried wontons, these crispy sweet cream cheese wontons are perfect for a quick snack or a party appetizer.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and the egg until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Avoid overfilling the wrappers to prevent leakage during frying.
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water and fold them into a triangle or desired shape, sealing the edges tightly.
Press the edges firmly to ensure a good seal.
Heat vegetable oil in a small pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for even frying.
Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pot to ensure the wontons cook evenly.
Remove the wontons from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Let the wontons cool slightly before serving to avoid burns.
Serve the wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.
For a sweet touch, dust the wontons with powdered sugar before serving.
