Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Peel, pit and dice the peach. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold in the diced peach.

  2. Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon a small amount of filling into the center. Dip a finger in water and wet the edges lightly.

  3. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or gather the corners together, pressing out any air and sealing the edges firmly. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and keep finished ones covered.

  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C), adding more oil as needed so the wontons float freely.

  5. Fry the wontons in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp.

  6. Lift the wontons out with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and serve warm.
