Ingredients
  

Wontons

  • 26 Vegan Wontons
  • 8 Ounces Vegan Cream Cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla

Strawberry Basil Sauce

  • 8 Ounces Fresh Sliced Strawberries Or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Basil Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch + 1 tablespoon Warm Water

Instructions
 

Strawberry Basil Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and warm water together until the cornstarch has completely dissolved.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the cornstarch mixture, sliced strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar.
  • Using a whisk or fork, stir the ingredients together as it cooks for 2 to 3 minutes while gently mashing or breaking up most strawberries.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in basil. Let sauce cool as it will thicken slightly.

Wontons

  • In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Fill a separate smaller bowl with water for dipping your finger into.
  • Place wontons on a work surface.
  • Dip one finger in the water and lightly paint all 4 edges of the wonton.
  • Spoon 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  • Bring two opposite corners of the wontons together and pinch them to seal. Then, bring the other two opposite corners together and pinch to seal, making an ‘X.’ Finally, seal all of the edges together, carefully removing any air bubbles. Note: Make sure to make a good seal or the filling will leak out.
  • Place folded wonton on a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  • Heat oil to 350°F in a deep pan, dutch oven, or deep fryer. 
  • Fry wontons in batches, turning them as needed to make sure they brown evenly, for about 2-3 minutes. 
  • Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately sprinkle with a little powdered sugar and serve with strawberry basil dipping sauce.
