Instructions
1
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2
Fold in the miniature chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3
Prepare a clean working surface and lay out the wonton wrappers. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
4
Using your fingertip, wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water to help seal them. Carefully fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together tightly to remove any air. You can also seal the edges by crimping them with a fork for extra security.
5
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the wontons in batches, turning them for even browning. Cook for about 1 minute on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried wontons to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain excess oil.
7
For an optional finishing touch, dust the warm wontons lightly with powdered sugar and/or unsweetened cocoa powder before serving. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful contrast of creamy filling and crispy wrapper!
