These Avocado Cream Cheese Wontons With Sesame are an Asian twist on the classic sweet cream cheese wonton recipe. Simply adding some toasted sesame oil and avocado makes these fun but keeps them super easy! One of my favorite appetizers to serve!

The Avocado Wonton Filling

The filling is simple but delicious. The honey adds a touch of sweetness that I love! Mix your avocados, cream cheese, honey, sesame oil and salt together in a bowl until creamy.

Take your precut wonton wrapper squares and fill them with your avocado filling.

Wet the edges and seal the wontons by pinching the ends together like this.

When your your oil is nice and hot, carefully place them in working in small batches until they are golden brown.

Remove when the color is desired and let drain on paper towels or a wire rack. While still hot, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

By the way, have you tried my Crispy Chinese Shrimp Toast Triangles yet?

Wonton Tips

Make sure you get a tight seal on your wonton wrappers so the filling does not fall out.
Use an oil thermometer to gauge how hot the oil is. If it's too cold, the wontons will be greasy. Too hot, and they will burn.
Use a spider strainer to add/remove your wontons easily.
Serve with soy sauce for dipping!

Ingredients

Edamame Wonton Recipe:

16 Wonton Wrappers
Oil For Frying (not olive oil!)

Wonton Filling

1 Ripe Avocado
4 oz. Cream Cheese
2 tablespoon honey
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
¼ Tsp. Salt

Method

Add all filling ingredients in a mixer and mix until creamy.

Fill a saucepan or wok with a few inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
Lay all wonton wrappers out on a table and scoop about 2 tsp. of the filling into the middle of each.
Then use your finger to wet the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold opposite corners together like in photo. Repeat with last two corners. You should have a star shape.
Repeat with the rest of the wontons making sure the water does not dry before sealing your wontons. I recommend sealing 2-3 at a time.
When oil is ready, add only a few wontons at a time. Too many will bring the oil temperature down resulting in a greasy wonton! Fry for about 30 seconds or until golden brown flipping halfway through.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot!

Notes

Tips*

Make these a few hours ahead and warm them up in an oven at 350 F for 5-10 minutes before guests arrive!
Serve with soy or eel sauce!
You can omit the honey if you do not want these sweet.
Make sure you seal your wonton wrappers properly or the filling will spill out in the fryer.

Yum!! These are super cute and sound absolutely delicious! Anything with avocado in it is my favourite and I really love the flavour of sesame oil too. Beautiful recipe 💗 I didn't get the coin in our cake this year either! We have a sweet kind of honey cake, not a cheese pie (yum though!) but still, no coin.... Meh!

These look so good. I would never have though to put sesame oil in the filling, I always drizzle it on stuff at the end.

These little parcels look deliciously moorish so no wonder they did not last long! I can't get the wrappers here so I'm going to give these a go with brique pastry as it's pretty robust.
