These crispy wonton cups are filled with a spicy cream cheese mixture and drizzled with sweet chili sauce, making a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for parties or last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (scallions), optional but recommended
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce, optional
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease each cup of a muffin tin or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Take one wonton wrapper and gently press it into a muffin cup to form a cup shape. Brush each wrapper lightly with vegetable oil.
  4. Bake the wrappers for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and crisp, watching closely after 7 minutes to avoid burning.
  5. While the cups bake, combine softened cream cheese, sriracha, garlic powder, and soy sauce (if using) in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth, then stir in chopped green onions.
  6. Once the wonton cups are crisp and slightly cooled, spoon about a heaping teaspoon of the spicy cream cheese mixture into each cup.
  7. Drizzle sweet chili sauce over each filled cup generously but without soaking the wrapper.
  8. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for garnish.
  9. Serve immediately while cups are still crisp. If holding, keep uncovered at room temperature for no more than 30 minutes to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Brush wonton wrappers with oil for extra crispness. Bake cups and store separately from filling and sauce if making ahead. Assemble just before serving to keep cups crispy. Watch oven closely to prevent burning. For vegan, use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan chili sauce. For gluten-free, substitute rice paper wrappers.
