Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (75 grams) fresh strawberries, diced
Wrapper Ingredients:
- 12 eggroll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)
Cooking and Serving Ingredients:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Strawberry sauce or chocolate sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Whip softened cream cheese in a spacious mixing vessel, gradually incorporating granulated sweetener and aromatic vanilla essence until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Carefully introduce freshly diced strawberries into the creamy base, using delicate folding motions to preserve their structural integrity and prevent unnecessary bruising.
- Lay out individual egg roll wrappers on a clean, flat surface, orienting them in a diamond shape to facilitate precise rolling.
- Position a measured portion of the strawberry-infused cream cheese mixture near one corner of each wrapper, ensuring strategic placement for optimal encapsulation.
- Tenderly fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then methodically fold in the side edges to create a secure envelope-like configuration.
- Roll the wrapper upward with gentle, consistent pressure, sealing the final edge with a light brush of water to ensure a tight, seamless closure.
- Heat neutral cooking oil in a deep skillet or fryer to an optimal temperature of 350°F, preparing for precise culinary transformation.
- Carefully submerge the prepared egg roll bites into the hot oil, frying until they develop a gloriously golden, crisp exterior.
- Remove the bites using a slotted utensil, allowing excess oil to drain on an absorbent paper towel surface.
- Let the crispy morsels cool for a brief moment before serving, garnishing with optional powdered sugar or fresh strawberry slices for enhanced visual appeal.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature cream cheese to ensure a silky-smooth filling without lumps, creating a perfectly blended mixture.
- Dice strawberries into small, uniform pieces to distribute the fruity flavor evenly throughout the cheesecake filling and prevent large chunks.
- Chill the filling for 30 minutes before wrapping to help it set and make rolling easier, reducing the chance of leakage during frying.
- For a lighter version, consider baking the egg rolls instead of deep-frying, which cuts down on oil while maintaining a crispy exterior.
