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

  • 1
    Dice carrots, 1/4 inch thick rounds.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Drain carrots. Add carrots, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar to food processor. Pulse until creamy and thick.
  • 4
    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar. Mix on medium speed until creamy and well combined.
  • 5
    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.
  • 6
    Fold over to form triangles. Crimp edges with a fork. Make sure they are well secured to prevent filling from leaking while deep frying.
  • 7
    Add to deep fryer, 4 at a time. These cook very quickly 2 to 3 minutes. Turn during cooking.
  • 8
    Drain on paper towels and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
  • 9
    Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
