Fruit and Cream Cheese Wontons

After trying some savory wontons with great success, we wanted to try something sweeter with summer fruits.

Wonton wrappers (found in the produce isle oddly enough)
4 oz. cream cheese (softened in microwave for approx. 10 to 15 seconds
4-6 finely diced strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries (about 2 per wonton)
2 Tablespoons oil heated to med high heat

Mix fruit with softened cream cheese.
lay out 18-24 wonton wrappers
place a scant amount of cream cheese mixture in center of each wonton
use water to seal edges together
lay in hot oil til crispy and brown, turning until all sides are browned

These worked really well. I have read that you can add water to the pan and steam. We did not do this step as they were heated through completely and we like the crunch.. Next time, I may just brush them with oil before cooking in a non stick skillet in an attempt to use less oil. These would be wonderful dusted with powdered sugar or even served with ice cream. My girls were happy with just the great sweetness from the fruit!
