Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8–10 Egg Roll Wrappers
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, finely chopped
- Butter or Oil, for frying (about 2-3 cups for deep frying)
Optional Garnishes
- Powdered Sugar, for dusting
- Chocolate Sauce or Strawberry Sauce, for drizzling
- Chopped Nuts or Mini Chocolate Chips (optional, to add inside filling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon or electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries to keep the texture light and fresh.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon about two tablespoons of the strawberry cheesecake filling onto the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly, and roll it up toward the top corner. Seal the edges securely using a bit of water to prevent leaks.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat a few inches of oil or butter in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering (around 350°F / 175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve and Garnish: Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate or strawberry sauce. Serve warm to enjoy the perfect combination of creamy filling and crispy exterior.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
- Seal the edges well with water to keep the filling contained.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for crispiness without burning.
- Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil for a lighter dessert.
