The perfect spring and summer sweet appetizer – these Strawberry Wonton Cups have sugared wonton cups that are baked and filled with a cream cheese mixture, then topped with fresh strawberries and mint.
Have excess strawberries on hand? After making these Strawberry Wonton Cups, try this Strawberry Crumble Pie or this Strawberry Tart.
I have seriously been going overboard on the strawberries this year. Every time I go to the grocery store, I buy more, and they never go to waste. And it’s not even prime strawberry season here in Utah yet! But the berries we have been getting have been so perfectly sweet and full of flavor, I just can’t help but keep buying them while they are so good.
While most of the time we have been enjoying them just plain, the other day I was feeling like getting a little bit fancy.
Now, we are a pretty “no frills” kind of household. Cookies, sheet cakes, brownies – – we don’t usually pull out the good china or serve anything up with special napkins. But these strawberries were just so good that I had to make something a little bit more special with them. Something with a little more wow factor than just a cookie. (Not that there is anything at all wrong with a cookie! :))
These Strawberry Wonton Cups are kind of a fake out, because they are so easy to make, but they look like they took a lot more effort. And the taste? Let me just say that you’d better make sure you have somewhere to take these or someone to give them to, otherwise, you may find yourself sneaking away to the refrigerator every 15 minutes. Just a hypothetical, though – that totally didn’t happen. 😉
So next time you need a sweet appetizer, or something that looks a little fancy for dessert, these Strawberry Wonton Cups are what you need!

Strawberry Wonton Cups
Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 3 cups sliced strawberries
- mint for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Brush one side of the wonton wrappers with butter. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Dip the buttered side of the wrappers into the cinnamon-sugar, then place the wrappers, sugared side up, into the muffin tins. Bake until golden brown, 7-9 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange zest together. Divide the mixture evenly between the cooled wonton cups.
- Place the strawberries on top of the cream, then garnish with mint. Serve immediately.

I love strawberries! And I have a BBQ in a few weeks that this will be perfect for because like you said, I will have to have somewhere to take these to share. They would be the death of me (or at least my self-control). 😉

Cinnamon sugar wonton shells! What a great idea!! I used to work at Hungry Girl and we used wontons to make cups all the time, but I don’t think we’ve ever done that! I love the mint on top too, I thought it was basil at first, but either sounds tasty!

These look wonderfully delicious and so simple! I cannot wait to try them. We have a local strawberry farm where my little one and I go pick strawberries at least once a week. There is no such thing as too many strawberries!

Oh, I love these! They are so pretty! I think that I’d only want to look at them and marvel in their beauty and not eat them… Hahaha, just kidding. 😀 Delicious!

This is such a cute way of serving fruit! So much better than the deep fry method. Tiny is always better!
