Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 16 won ton wrappers
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- peanut, canola or vegetable oil, for frying
- caramel (optional)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip together the cream cheese, salt, vanilla, confectioner’s sugar and cinnamon.
- Mix on low for 30 seconds – 1 minute and then increase the speed to medium.
- Continue mixing for another minute or two, until fully combined and light and fluffy.
- Set aside and chill, covered, until you are ready to assemble.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a wide bowl and set aside.
- In a deep fryer or skillet with 1″ of oil, heat the oil to 350°F.
- Fry the won ton wrappers 30 seconds per side, just until they begin to stiffen and brown. Make sure they stay flat.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate for just a few seconds.
- While they are still hot and coated lightly with oil, toss with the cinnamon sugar. Shake off the excess and set aside.
- To assemble, pipe* or spoon 2-3 Tbsp of the cream cheese mixture on each won ton wrapper and stack about 4 high (stack 2 high if you want a lighter serving).
- Finish with a light dusting of excess cinnamon sugar or caramel (optional).
Notes
tools
- hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment
- wide bowl
- deep fryer or deep skillet
- instant read thermometer
- tongs
- pastry bag or plastic bag (optional)
*Piping bags are pretty cheap at craft stores, or you can use fold-over plastic bags. Just snip off a corner and pipe.
Pro-tip: Fry the rest of the won ton wrappers in the package and coat with cinnamon sugar to make tasty cinnamon sugar chips.
