- 8 large egg roll wrappers
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) mini chocolate chips (optional)
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (110 grams) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) cinnamon sugar for coating
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Blend cream cheese mixture with powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream until silky and uniform, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gently incorporate chocolate chips into the cream cheese blend for added texture and flavor complexity.
- Position egg roll wrapper diagonally on clean surface, creating a diamond shape with pointed edges facing north and south.
- Spoon cream cheese filling precisely in the center of the wrapper, maintaining consistent placement.
- Fold bottom point over filling, then carefully tuck side corners inward, creating a tight envelope-like configuration.
- Seal wrapper edges using water, pressing firmly to prevent filling leakage during frying.
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in deep skillet or fryer, monitoring temperature with cooking thermometer.
- Carefully submerge rolled wrappers into hot oil, frying 2-3 minutes until exterior turns golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer fried rolls onto paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and drain thoroughly.
- While rolls remain warm, generously coat exterior with cinnamon sugar mixture for sweet, fragrant coating.
- Prepare caramel sauce by combining sugar, heavy cream, and butter in saucepan over medium heat.
- Simmer sauce 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously until mixture thickens and develops rich amber color.
- Finish caramel sauce by stirring in vanilla extract, enhancing overall flavor profile.
- Plate warm crispy rolls and drizzle with freshly prepared caramel sauce, serving immediately for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Customize Filling Experiment with different cream cheese flavors like strawberry or chocolate to create unique taste variations.
- Control Temperature Maintain consistent oil temperature between 350-375F for even, crispy golden-brown rolls without burning.
- Seal Properly Ensure wrapper edges are completely sealed to prevent filling leakage during frying, using water or egg wash as glue.
- Dietary Adaptations Substitute wrappers with gluten-free options and use dairy-free cream cheese for alternative dietary needs like vegan or lactose-intolerant preferences.
