   1. Take each wrapper and dampen the outer edges with a thin layer of water.
   2. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, and fold in half into a triangle.
   3. Bring the two corners on the long side of the triangle together, and seal with another dab of water.
   4. Continue until all the wontons are assembled.
3. Heat a couple inches of oil in a small pot until it reaches 375 degrees F.
