Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup blueberry pie filling (or fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon sugar)
Binding and Coating Ingredients:
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation and Serving Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (or non-stick cooking spray)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Honey or chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Craft the velvety filling by whisking cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until luxuriously smooth and free of lumps.
- Position a delicate wonton wrapper on a clean surface and carefully deposit a dollop of creamy mixture directly in the center.
- Gently crown the cream cheese with a petite portion of blueberry pie filling, ensuring precise placement.
- Delicately brush the wonton’s edges with beaten egg to create a perfect seal.
- Transform the wrapper into a elegant triangle by folding the corners inward, meticulously pinching the edges to prevent any potential leakage.
- Continue crafting these miniature parcels until all filling is utilized, typically yielding approximately two dozen delectable morsels.
- Activate the air fryer and calibrate the temperature to 180C, allowing it to warm for several minutes.
- Lightly mist the assembled wontons with cooking spray or tenderly coat with melted butter to ensure a golden, crisp exterior.
- Arrange the wontons in the air fryer basket with strategic spacing, avoiding overcrowding.
- Circulate hot air around the wontons for 5-7 minutes, pausing midway to gently shake the basket, promoting even golden-brown coloration.
- Once crisped to perfection, elegantly dust the wontons with a delicate veil of powdered sugar.
- Optional: Enhance the experience by drizzling with honey or chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence.
- Serve immediately while warm, potentially accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream for ultimate indulgence.
Notes
- Create a silky smooth cheesecake filling by ensuring cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing, which prevents lumps and guarantees a creamy texture.
- When sealing wontons, press edges firmly with a fork to create a tight seal, preventing filling from leaking during air frying and maintaining a perfect crispy exterior.
- Experiment with different fruit fillings like strawberry or raspberry for variety, allowing you to customize the wontons to your taste preferences or seasonal availability.
- Reduce sugar content by using Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese and adding a sugar substitute for a lighter, healthier version of this delightful dessert.
