INGREDIENT NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:
- These wonton nibbles have the rich, creamy texture of traditional cheesecake filling, but with fewer carbohydrates because of cream cheese. It easily combines with sweets to create a velvety texture that properly counterbalances the crispy shell.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder naturally sweetens the filling, which doesn’t add calories or sugar. It keeps the dessert light & keto by dissolving readily into the cream cheese mixture & leaves no aftertaste.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
- The vanilla essence provides warm, fragrant overtones. It adds depth to the flavor & goes well with the cream cheese & strawberries. A tiny bit gives depth and a smell reminiscent of a bakery.
FRESH STRAWBERRIES:
- Every bite of fresh strawberries is naturally sweet & full of vibrant fruitiness. They provide a splash of color & freshness while counterbalancing the filling’s richness.
KETO FLOUR:
- Use coconut flour or almond flour to prepare low-carb wonton wrappers; they form a crispy exterior when fried. They maintain their golden color without becoming greasy & firmly hold the filling.
AVOCADO OIL:
- Avocado or coconut oil is perfect for frying because it can withstand high heat and gives a light, crunchy finish. Additionally, it maintains a clear, neutral flavor that highlights the cheesecake filling.
EGG WASH:
- Egg wash aids in securely sealing the wontons’ edges to prevent filling leakage while they are being fried. Additionally, it gives the edges a hint of sharpness and a golden hue.
