Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (75 grams) strawberry jam or preserves
- Fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
Wrapper and Frying Ingredients:
- 10–12 eggroll wrappers
- 1 egg whisked with water (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Garnish and Serving:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Extra strawberry jam or chocolate sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until silky and uniform, creating a luxurious base for the filling.
- Incorporate strawberry jam and diced strawberries, gently swirling to distribute fruit throughout the creamy mixture.
- Position an eggroll wrapper diagonally on a clean, flat surface, ensuring the diamond orientation maximizes rolling potential.
- Carefully center a precise portion of the strawberry cream cheese mixture onto the wrapper’s midpoint.
- Lift the bottom triangle of the wrapper, enveloping the filling, then fold side corners inward to create secure edges.
- Roll the wrapper tightly into a compact log, using water or egg wash to seal the final top corner and prevent unraveling during frying.
- Continue assembling remaining eggrolls with consistent technique and filling distribution.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for even browning.
- Carefully submerge eggrolls in hot oil, frying 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crisp exterior.
- Transfer fried eggrolls using a slotted spoon onto paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain and maintain crispiness.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with complementary dipping sauces like additional strawberry jam or rich chocolate sauce.
Notes
- Customize the filling by experimenting with different fruit jams like raspberry or blueberry for unique flavor variations.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free mixture that blends easily.
- Use a candy thermometer to maintain precise oil temperature, preventing soggy or burnt eggrolls.
- For a healthier alternative, bake the eggrolls at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, lightly spraying with cooking oil to achieve a crispy exterior.
