Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional but recommended)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen blueberries, patted dry)
- 12 square wonton wrappers
- 1 egg (for egg wash) or water
- Cooking spray or neutral oil (like avocado or canola)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract (and lemon zest, if using). Use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk to beat the mixture until it's completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps. Gently fold in the fresh or thoroughly patted-dry blueberries.
- Lay out your wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out. Have your small bowl of egg wash (or water) ready.
- Place one wonton wrapper in front of you, oriented like a diamond. Scoop about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of the blueberry cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Dip your finger in the egg wash (or water) and lightly moisten all four edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold one corner over to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press firmly around the filling to remove any air pockets and seal the edges completely.
- Once assembled, place the wontons on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray or brush each wonton with cooking spray or a neutral oil.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Arrange the wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't overlap.
- Air fry for 6-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the hot wontons from the air fryer. Let them cool for a minute or two before dusting with a little powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your delightful creation!
