For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blackberries (or chopped if large)
For the Wontons:
- 12–15 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

How to Make Crispy Blackberry Cream Cheese Wontons
To begin with, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the blackberries so they stay mostly intact.
Next, assemble the wontons. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold into a triangle, and press edges to seal tightly.
Then, fry the wontons in hot oil until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Finally, serve warm. Dust lightly with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey, or top with extra fresh blackberries for a beautiful presentation.
Baking & Serving Tips
For best results, do not overfill the wontons—this keeps them from bursting while frying.
Make sure the oil is hot enough so the wontons crisp quickly without absorbing too much oil.
You can also bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes if you prefer a lighter version.
Mini versions are perfect for parties or dessert platters, and the filling can be made ahead of time to simplify assembly.
🌟 The Perfect Balance
What makes these wontons truly special is the harmony of flavors and textures. The crispy wrapper contrasts beautifully with the creamy, sweet-tart filling, creating a bite that’s both light and indulgent.
🫐 Fun Fact
Did you know that blackberries pair exceptionally well with cream cheese in desserts? The tartness of the berries naturally balances the sweetness of the cheese, enhancing both flavors without overpowering your palate.
