Wonton Sweet and Sour Cream Cheese Dip {Two Ways}

Confession: part of my favorite reason to go out for Chinese is to grab a handful of fortune cookies…partially for the humorous fortunes. Partially for those (hopefully not stale) fortune cookies.

But, there is also this part of me that hopes the hubs orders some cream cheese wontons. But not for the creamy, crab filled filling but for the crunchy ‘tails’ of the wontons that I dunk and slather in the sweet and sour dip that accompanies these little gems.

As he eye rolls at me for taking all the crunchy bites, I am secretly happy. As the motto goes…’what is yours, is mine. And what is mine is mine.’ Isn’t that right?

Let’s just roll with it.

Wonton Sweet and Sour Cream Cheese Dip is a simple appetizer that you can prepare either hot or chilled! Crispy wontons dipped into a sweet and sour cream cheese dip!

This dip was inspired by those sneaky bites. But the best part is, you can control how much crunchy and how much gooey cream cheese and how much sauce you devour. Winning combination!

This dip couldn’t be any easier. And it can be served two ways – warm or chilled!

It starts with a base of cream cheese. Use fat free, light or full fat – whatever suits your fancy! If you are serving this chilled (or room temperature), simply spread softened cream cheese onto a serving dish in a thin layer. If you are serving it warmed, no need to bring the cream cheese to room temp, just spread into an oven safe baking dish.

Next, my favorite layer. The sweet and sour sauce! I used my oh so simple, pineapple sweet and sour sauce from these baked coconut shrimp. I love the addition of pineapple to the sauce, as it adds an unexpected sweetness but not a flavor many people can land their finger on. Chef secret! But if you have a favorite recipe or are short on time, feel free to use a bottled sweet and sours sauce! Can you say time saver?

Oh ya, those are the only two layers! So you are done with that part. Easy, amiright?

And we can’t forget those crunchy dippers. One ingredient dippers. Take square wonton wrappers, fold in half and place in a heated oven to crisp up. After 10 minutes, little golden crunchy gems arise. They are great to make ahead of time as they stay crunchy for daysssss. Another reason this dip needs to be on your Labor Day menu or appear at your football tailgate this fall.

Kapesh?

    How in the heck have I never had a cream cheese wonton?! Clearly, I need to rethink all my life choices. Also, fortune cookies are LEGIT. But not as much as this dip! I could put my whole face into it! Pinned!

    This dip is such a great idea - the crispy ends of crab rangoon are the best part, and I can never get enough sweet and sour dip! The Chinese restaurant my husband went to growing up didn't have crab rangoon - I remember mentioning it one time and he was like "what's crab rangoon?"! It was a staple in my family!! I will have to make this dip for him!
