Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup blueberry pie filling or blueberry preserves
Wontons
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper, then add 1/2 teaspoon of blueberry filling on top. Lightly moisten the edges of each wrapper with water to help seal.
- Seal the wontons: Fold each wrapper into a triangle or bring all corners up and pinch them together to seal tightly, ensuring no air pockets remain inside.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat.
- Brush wontons with butter: Lightly brush or spray the wontons with melted butter to promote browning and crispiness.
- Air fry the wontons: Place the wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Serve: Allow the wontons to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Substitute other fruit preserves such as strawberry or raspberry for variety.
- Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter dessert option.
- Enjoy these wontons fresh as they are best crispy; leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes.
