Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberry preserves or pie filling
Assembly
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Cooking spray or oil mister
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined for a creamy filling base.
- Fill the Wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and 1/2 teaspoon of blueberry preserves in the center of each wrapper. This ensures each wonton is evenly filled for consistent flavor.
- Seal the Wontons: Lightly brush the edges of each wrapper with the beaten egg to act as a glue. Fold the wrappers into triangles or bring all corners together to seal tightly, carefully pressing out any air to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat, which helps achieve an even and crispy finish.
- Air Fry the Wontons: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the wontons in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Lightly spray the tops of the wontons to promote browning. Cook for 5–6 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the wontons and let them cool for a few minutes to set. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness and a decorative finish.
Notes
- You can substitute the blueberry filling with raspberry, cherry preserves, or Nutella for a different flavor variation.
- Best served warm and crisp right after cooking for optimal texture and taste.
- Leftover wontons can be reheated in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to restore their crispiness.
