How to Make Raspberry Cream Cheese Wontons

Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, raspberry jam, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Prepare the wrappers: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add 1 tsp of filling to the center. Brush edges with egg wash, then fold into a triangle or bring all corners to the center and press to seal.
Heat oil: In a deep skillet, heat 1–2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350–365°F.
Fry: Carefully add wontons in small batches and fry 30–45 seconds per side, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm—plain or with a dipping sauce like chocolate or raspberry coulis.

Want a Baked or Air Fried Option?

Bake: Place wontons on a greased baking sheet, brush tops with oil, and bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes or until golden
Air Fry: Spray with cooking spray and cook at 370°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway

Tips for the Best Results

Only fill with 1 tsp—don’t overstuff or they’ll leak
Make sure the edges are sealed tightly
Let them rest on paper towels for a few minutes before serving so they crisp up
Want to freeze? Prep and freeze uncooked wontons on a tray, then store in a bag for easy frying later

Storage & Reheating

Store: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days
Reheat: Use the oven or air fryer for best texture (375°F for 5–6 mins)
