Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned peaches, drained)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Filling and Mixture Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for peach mixture)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for peach mixture)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake mixture)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Coating and Glaze Ingredients:
- Vegetable or canola oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar coating)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Craft a luscious peach compote by simmering chopped peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture becomes thick and glossy. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Whip softened cream cheese with sugar until silky smooth, then gently fold in vanilla extract to create a luxurious cheesecake filling.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and position a dollop of cream cheese mixture in the center, followed by a spoonful of the cooled peach compote.
- Carefully fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly, using beaten egg as a sealing adhesive to secure the edges.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C), carefully submerging the rolled egg rolls and frying for 2-3 minutes per side until they achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Transfer the freshly fried egg rolls to paper towels to drain excess oil, then immediately roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm for an extra layer of sweetness.
- Prepare a decadent glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over the egg rolls or serve as an accompanying dipping sauce.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Filling by cooling the peach mixture completely before assembling to maintain crisp egg roll wrappers and avoid potential moisture seepage.
- Adjust Sweetness Levels by reducing sugar in peach mixture for a more balanced flavor, especially if using ripe, naturally sweet peaches.
- Create Dietary Alternatives by substituting egg roll wrappers with gluten-free versions and using low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
- Enhance Flavor Depth by adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the peach mixture for a subtle, warm complexity that complements the sweet filling.
