cream cheese wontons

Cream Cheese Wontons are a classic marriage of Chinese and American cuisines into one addictive appetizer, and they're dead simple to make at home.

Cream Cheese Wontons

cream cheese ((225 grams))

sugar

salt

scallions ((finely chopped))

pack wonton wrappers

Vegetable oil ((for frying))

soy sauce

water

honey

sesame oil

Sriracha ((optional))

Make the wonton filling by combining the cream cheese, sugar, salt, and scallions.

Assemble the wontons. Take each wrapper, and dampen the outer edges with a thin layer of water. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, and fold in half into a triangle. Bring the two corners on the long side of the triangle together, and seal with another dab of water. Continue until all the wontons are assembled.

Heat a couple inches of vegetable oil in a small pot until it reaches 375 degrees F. Fry the wontons in batches––about 2 minutes per batch––until golden brown. Definitely use a small pot for this and fry in multiple batches; you’ll use much less oil!

Make the dipping sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients, and serve with the wontons.

My ultra crispy cream cheese wontons are stuffed with the most delicious filling and are so easy to make. These cream cheese rangoons taste like they came from a restaurant!

wonton wrappers

cream cheese (softened)

onion powder

egg (beaten)

chives (optional)

Combine the cream cheese, sugar and onion powder.&nbsp; Stir until well mixed.

Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and drop a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center. Brush the edges of the wonton with the egg.

Bring 2 opposite corners together in the middle of the wonton and pinch. Repeat with the other 2 corners and pinch to form a package shape.

Repeat with the remaining wontons and cream cheese until all are filled.

Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees F.

Fry 5-6 wontons at a time, turning them as needed to make sure they brown evenly. This process should take about 3-5 minutes.&nbsp;

Drain the cooked wontons on paper towels and repeat the frying process with remaining wontons.

Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately with dipping sauce of choice.

These cream cheese wontons can be filled with a sweet or savory filling and baked in the oven or fried! Filling ideas include cream cheese and cherry pie filling, nutella, and more!

Sweet Cream Cheese Wontons

softened cream cheese

Nonstick Cooking Spray

Mix the powdered sugar and cream cheese together until well combined. (You can use a hand mixer or a silicone spatula for this.)

Lay out about 4 wontons at a time and cover the remaining with a dish towel (they dry out quickly).

Fill a small bowl with water and set near the wontons.

Place about a ½ teaspoon of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each wonton.

Dip your fingers into the whisked egg/water mixture (i.e. egg wash), and fold the wontons diagonally to form a triangle. Seal and ensure that there are no air bubbles.

Dip your fingers back into the water. With the longest side of the triangle facing you, fold the left side to the right, and then fold the left side over it, to the right.

Repeat until all wontons are filled and wrapped!

Deep fryers work great with these, however if you don't have one, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a dutch oven until it is just under 350 degrees. (I put my electric stove to just under the medium-high mark).

You can use an extra wonton wrapper to test the temperature. Place it in the oil and ensure that it doesn’t cook too quickly or burn. Adjust the heat accordingly if needed.

Fry 4-5 wontons at a time, each for about 45 seconds to a minute, (or until golden brown).

Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to cool.

To Fry:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place the sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes. Heating the sheet will ensure that the wontons are nice and crisp on the bottom when they bake.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the wontons on top. Coat the wontons with a light layer of nonstick cooking spray.

The wontons will need to bake for about 10-12 minutes, however it’s best to start checking on them after 5 minutes. Remove them from the oven when they are crisp and golden brown.

To Bake:

Brush each wonton lightly with vegetable or canola oil. Air Fry at 370 degrees for 7-8 minutes, until slightly browned and crispy. Serve!
