Ingredients
Let’s gather the essentials for our strawberry cheesecake eggrolls. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the strawberries for other fruits like blueberries or raspberries. And if cream cheese isn’t your thing, mascarpone is a delicious alternative. Whatever you choose, the result will be a burst of flavor in every bite.
Instructions
Ready to roll up your sleeves and make some magic? Here’s how:
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you.
- Spoon about two tablespoons of the strawberry cheesecake mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg to act as glue.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll upwards tightly, sealing the top corner with more egg wash.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Fry the eggrolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Pro tip: Make sure the oil is hot enough, or the eggrolls might absorb too much oil and become greasy. If you’re unsure, drop a small piece of wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
