How to Make Raspberry Dessert Wontons

Making these wontons is just as easy as getting your ingredients together. It only takes a few simple steps!

Step 1: Make the Raspberry Filling

Add raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar to a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium, stirring frequently, until a sauce begins to form. Then, mix cornstarch and water together and add it to the raspberries. Stir the mixture until thickened, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

Beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a small bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Construct the Wontons

Lay wonton wrappers on a clean, large flat surface and add a spoonful of cream cheese mixture to the middle of each wrapper. Then, add a spoonful of the raspberry mixture. Next, dip your finger into water and lightly moisten all of the edges of each wrapper. Grab all four corners of each wonton and pull them together, gently pressing to remove the excess air and firmly pressing the edges together to seal.

Step 4: Fry the Wontons

Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add 5 to 6 wontons at a time and fry them until golden brown on all sides – about 4 to 5 minutes. Once golden brown, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Dust the wontons with powdered sugar and enjoy!
