Step-by-Step Instructions
The first step in making these delicious bites involves preparing the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, I whip together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberries, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until it’s beautifully smooth and creamy. The sweet strawberries combined with the richness of the cream cheese create such a delightful flavor! Once you have that filling ready, it’s time to assemble the wonton bites. Place a wonton wrapper in one of the shallow dishes, add about a teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture to the center, and then gently brush the edges with a little water to help seal them. Fold the wrapper over to create a triangle, pressing out any air as you go. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
