Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Wontons
- 20 wonton wrappers
- Small bowl of water (for sealing)
- Cooking spray or a light brush of oil
Optional for Serving
- Sweet chili sauce
- Honey
- Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, crushed pineapple, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the wontons: Place one wonton wrapper on a clean surface, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into its center, dip your finger in water and lightly wet the edges, then fold diagonally into a triangle or bring all corners to the center to form a pouch, pressing edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Preheat and prepare air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes and lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange wontons: Place wontons in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Lightly spray the tops of the wontons with oil to promote browning.
- Air fry the wontons: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through cooking if needed.
- Serve: Serve the warm wontons with sweet chili sauce, a drizzle of honey, or dust with powdered sugar to add extra sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure pineapple is well-drained to avoid soggy filling.
- You can freeze filled, uncooked wontons and air fry them straight from frozen—just add 1–2 minutes to the cook time.
