Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) soft cream cheese
- 1 cup (150 grams) diced fresh strawberries
- 12 eggroll wrappers
Sweeteners and Flavorings:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until velvety and uniform in texture, creating a smooth filling mixture.
- Simmer fresh strawberries with granulated sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and resembles a glossy jam-like consistency, then set aside to cool completely.
- Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface and place a generous dollop of cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Add a small spoonful of the cooled strawberry compote directly on top of the cream cheese portion.
- Carefully fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tuck in the side edges, and roll tightly, using water to seal the final edge and prevent unraveling.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to precisely 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout frying.
- Gently slide prepared egg rolls into the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes and rotating periodically to ensure even, golden-brown coloration on all sides.
- Remove egg rolls using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
- Dust the crispy egg rolls generously with powdered sugar, creating an elegant and sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Double-check cream cheese temperature for ultra-smooth filling, ensuring it’s softened at room temperature.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum natural sweetness and vibrant color in the filling.
- Prevent wrapper tears by not overfilling and sealing edges completely with water to create a tight seal.
- Consider baking instead of frying for a lighter version, brushing with cooking spray and baking at 425F until golden and crispy.
