Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Wrappers
- 24 pieces
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup whipped topping or Greek yogurt
Toppings and Garnish
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or pie filling
- Fresh strawberries, sliced (optional)
Other
- Butter or cooking spray, for brushing the wrappers
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin to ensure the wonton cups don’t stick during baking.
- Prepare cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice, then gently fold in whipped topping or Greek yogurt to create a light and fluffy filling.
- Form wonton cups: Press each wonton wrapper into the wells of the prepared muffin tin, shaping them to form little cups. Brush the wonton wrappers lightly with melted butter or apply cooking spray to help them crisp up evenly while baking.
- Bake wonton cups: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the wonton cups turn golden brown and crisp. Once baked, remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Fill wonton cups: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cooled wonton cup with the prepared cheesecake filling, evenly distributing it among all cups.
- Add strawberry topping: Spoon a dollop of strawberry jam or pie filling on top of the cheesecake filling in each wonton cup to add a sweet and fruity layer.
- Garnish and chill: Optionally, garnish each bite with a fresh strawberry slice for a vibrant touch. Chill the filled wonton bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake filling to set for the best texture.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smooth filling.
- If you prefer a tangier taste, use Greek yogurt as the whipped topping alternative.
- Wonton wrappers crisp up nicely in the oven, but avoid overbaking to prevent burning.
- These bites are best served chilled and fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Fresh strawberries are optional but add a fresh, appealing garnish and texture contrast.
