Sweet Cream Cheese Wontons

Friends, I’ve had a revelation. And THAT, is that sweet cream cheese inside of a crunchy, golden wonton, equals heaven. The filling has just two ingredients, although I’ve heard of plenty of delicious variations and additions that people have used in this recipe. 

Aside from my cream cheese/powdered sugar combo, readers have commented on combinations that they have personally tried and loved! Feel free to do the same below the post! 

Yes, these wontons can be baked or fried. I personally enjoy splurging and serving them fried, (my deep fryer or my dutch oven are my tools of choice), but instructions for each method are outlined in the recipe below.
