Follow these simple steps to create amazing Deep-Fried Cheesecake Bites:

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until well-combined and creamy.

2. Chill the Filling: Place the cheesecake mixture in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm it up. This helps it hold its shape during frying.

3. Prepare the Wonton Wrappers: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. You can work with a few at a time to prevent them from drying out.

4. Fill the Wrappers: Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Be careful not to overfill.

5. Seal the Wrappers: Moisten the edges of each wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle and press firmly to seal. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent leaking.

6. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.

7. Fry the Bites: Carefully drop the sealed cheesecake bites into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the bites from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the hot bites with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

10. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Deep-Fried Cheesecake Bites while they’re still warm!
