Let me start off by saying...these are addictive!!!
You get a bite of brown sugar carrot puree and cheesecake all at once...
If you've ever gone to a Chinese restaurant and had those sweetened cream cheese rangoon - you will love these!
The cheesecake and carrot worked really well together. It's a very unexpected combination.

How to Make Carrot Cheesecake Bites
- Dice carrots, 1/4 inch thick rounds.
- In a large sauce pan or dutch oven add carrots. Cover with water and lid. Bring to a boil. Boil 15 minutes or until carrots are tender.
- Drain carrots. Add carrots, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar to food processor. Pulse until creamy and thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar. Mix on medium speed until creamy and well combined.
- Heat deep fryer to 350 degrees while preparing your carrot cheesecake bites.
In the center of your wonton squares, add 1/4 teaspoon of each filling. Brush with egg wash mixture around edges. - Fold over to form triangles. Crimp edges with a fork. Make sure they are well secured to prevent filling from leaking while deep frying.
- Add to deep fryer, 4 at a time. These cook very quickly 2 to 3 minutes. Turn during cooking.
- Drain on paper towels and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
