Cream Cheese Wontons

Everybody knows that cream cheese wontons are the best, but not so many people know that they are extremely easy and cheap to make yourself. You only need 3 ingredients to make these!

What you will need:
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Cream Cheese 
  • Wonton Skins (they make delicious Gluten- Free skins as well)
  • Honey (optional)
  • A Pot or Pan (I prefer a pan because the high walls prevent splashing)
  • Tongs

Preparing the Oil

First thing that I do is I start heating up the oil. Fill a pan with oil about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch deep. 

Normally I set the stove to be at a high heat around 7/10

While the oil is heating up I make the wontons. I begin by opening the cream cheese, the wonton skins and the bottle of honey. 
Separate all of the wonton skins, and get a spoon to scoop the cream cheese with. 

What to do:
  • Scoop a piece of cream cheese onto the wonton skin
  • Put a small dab of honey on top of cream cheese
  • Fold two Opposite corners together 
  • Fold other two corners into the middle

Some people like to use water to hold the wonton together, but the water makes the oil sizzle a lot when you cook it and is not necessary

Now that the wontons are prepared, and the oil is hot, it is time to cook the wontons. 
  • Drop one or two wontons into the oil (gently) 
  • Let the wonton turn golden brown on one side
  • Flip the wonton
  • Let the other side turn a golden brown
  • Remove from the oil with tongs
  • Repeat until all wontons are cooked
  • Enjoy the delicious wontons


Some people like to add sauces, but i like to eat them plain.
