Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer.
- Gently fold the cherry pie filling into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the cherry cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with water using your fingertip to help seal the edges properly.
- Fold the wontons diagonally to create triangles, pressing the edges firmly to seal and remove any air pockets.
- Arrange the filled wontons on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Brush the tops of the wontons lightly with vegetable oil to help them brown and crisp evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
- While wontons are baking, prepare the chocolate dipping sauce by melting chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Remove wontons from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving with the warm chocolate dipping sauce.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the cherry cheesecake filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the wontons right before baking for the best texture.
- Seal Properly: Make sure to moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers well to ensure they seal properly. This will prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the wontons as they bake. Ovens can vary, so start checking for that golden brown color at around 12 minutes to avoid over-baking.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don’t hesitate to get creative! Try using different fruit fillings, like blueberry or strawberry, or even a chocolate cheesecake filling for a unique twist.
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the wontons warm with the chocolate dipping sauce. You can also drizzle the sauce over the wontons for an elegant presentation.
