Sweet Cream Cheese Wontons

Friends, I’ve had a revelation. And THAT, is that sweet cream cheese inside of a crunchy, golden wonton, equals heaven. The filling has just two ingredients, although I’ve heard of plenty of delicious variations and additions that people have used in this recipe.

Wonton Filling Ideas:
Aside from my cream cheese/powdered sugar combo, readers have commented on combinations that they have personally tried and loved! Feel free to do the same below the post!

Can these be baked?
Yes, these wontons can be baked or fried. I personally enjoy splurging and serving them fried, (my deep fryer or my dutch oven are my tools of choice), but instructions for each method are outlined in the recipe below.

Can they be refrigerated?
Wonton wrappers dry out very quickly unless they have been cooked, so only store them in the fridge if you have already baked/fried them. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and crisp them up in the oven at 300 degrees for 5-10 minutes.

Ingredients

• Wontons
• 8 oz. softened cream cheese
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 12 oz. wonton wraps (packages usually in refrigerated produce section, near tofu)
• 1 egg whisked with a splash of water

To Fry:

• 48 oz. canola oil enough to fill a dutch oven or fryer with about 3 inches of oil.
• To Bake:
• Nonstick Cooking Spray

Instructions

1. Mix the powdered sugar and cream cheese together until well combined. (You can use a hand mixer or a silicone spatula for this.)
2. Lay out about 4 wontons at a time and cover the remaining with a dish towel (they dry out quickly).
3. Fill a small bowl with water and set near the wontons.
