Cup of Yum
Notes
- These wonton cups are best enjoyed on the day they are made but they can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Keep in mind they will lose some of their crunch.
- Wonton wrappers are available near tofu in most grocery stores.
- You can use one wrapper per well if you prefer but two will give the cups more structure and more crunch.
- Make sure the cream cheese it’s fully softened so it mixes smoothly.
- Swap half of the cream cheese with light sour cream or greek yogurt.
- Use Colby jack or pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar cheese. Or a mixture of cheeses.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than store bought pre-shredded but either will work.
- Leave out the garlic powder if desired.
- For spicier cups, leave the jalapeno seeds. For less spice, remove the seeds before mincing.
