- Wonton Wrappers: about 20

Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F. Line a plate with paper towels for draining later.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
