INGREDIENT NOTES:
WONTON WRAPPERS:
- These are actually okay for Weight Watchers to utilize because they turn crispy as you bake them, and they will not include a large amount of fat in the dessert. They also feel light, and we will use them as the core component for this recipe. Phyllo dough can work fine as a substitute.
FAT-FREE CREAM CHEESE:
- Another main component for this recipe is the cream cheese, and for this recipe version, we will be using the fat-free one to lower the caloric count in this dessert. If you need an alternative for this component, try using reduced-fat cream cheese, which will raise WW points in your diet plan.
NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:
- Along with the non-fat cream cheese, we will be using this non-fat Greek yogurt, which is lighter and will not increase the amount of WW points and calories in your diet. The filling can also become creamier with its addition. If you do not have this yogurt, you can include more fat-free cream cheese in its place.
FRESH STRAWBERRIES:
- As the name of the recipe indicates, strawberries are the main flavor in this dessert. The fresh ones will provide the best feeling with a sweet taste. The overall color of the filling will also improve. In place of fresh ones, you can try the use of frozen ones, which you will need to defrost and remove the water from.
POWDERED ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:
- You will not need to include any sugar in this recipe, as the powdered zero-calorie sweetener will work just fine for this dessert and will control WW points as well. This component can also provide you with a sweet taste. Another idea for this can be stevia.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract will provide a nice taste to the overall dessert with a sweet aroma.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm your oven to 190°C.
- Then place the silicon mat over the tray.
- Make a mixture of vanilla, sweetener, Greek yogurt, & cream cheese in a bowl.
- Carefully mix in the strawberries as well.
- Place the wonton wrappers on an even surface and put some filling in each.
- Then lightly spread some water on the corners of the wonton wrappers.
- Fold to close the filling and tightly seal the corners as well.
- Arrange the filled wonton wrappers on the tray to bake for 12 minutes.
- Cool them down for some time after baking them.
- Now your delicious dessert is ready to eat.
TIPS:
- When placing the filling inside the wonton wrappers, be sure that you include some amount of it, and not too much, so that the filling does not burst out.
- When closing the corners of the wonton wrappers, be sure to pinch tightly so that they do not open when they bake.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
- To complete the look of these wonton bites, place some pieces of strawberries over them.
- You can also consider sprinkling some amount of zero-calorie sweetener (powdered) on top of the wonton bites to give a nice presentation.

FAQs:
Other than strawberries, what can I include in the cream cheese filling?
