Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Mixture
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
For Assembly and Frying
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Water (for sealing wrappers)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir thoroughly and let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes slightly syrupy, enhancing the natural sweetness and thickening it.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Assemble Eggrolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner facing you like a diamond. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling into the center, then add 1 tablespoon of the strawberry mixture on top. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides to enclose the filling fully, and roll tightly upwards. Seal the top edge by dabbing a little water along the edge to adhere the wrapper. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
- Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot to about 2 inches deep and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), suitable for deep frying.
- Fry Eggrolls: Carefully place the eggrolls in the hot oil in batches. Fry each batch for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they achieve a golden brown color and crispy texture.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried eggrolls with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant sweet finish.
Notes
- For a lighter alternative, brush the eggrolls lightly with oil and air-fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes or bake in the oven at 400°F for 15–18 minutes until crispy.
- Serve with melted chocolate or strawberry dipping sauce for added flavor.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and smoother texture.
- Do not overfill the eggroll wrappers to avoid tearing during rolling or frying.
