2 tablespoons finely diced fresh strawberries

1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Gently fold in strawberry jam and diced fresh strawberries, creating a marbled effect. Don't overmix - you want streaks of jam throughout.

Lay wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.

Brush the edges of each wrapper with beaten egg. Bring corners together and twist to form a small pouch, pressing edges firmly to seal.

Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.

Carefully lower 4-5 wontons at a time into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Don't overcrowd the pot.

Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or wire rack. Allow oil temperature to return to 350°F between batches.

Continue frying remaining wontons in batches until all are cooked and golden.

Arrange on serving platter while still warm. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.

Serve immediately with dollops of whipped cream, strawberry jam for dipping, and fresh strawberry halves.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
