Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 20 wrappers)
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them well.
- In a medium bowl, combine diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes to release juices.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth (2-3 minutes).
- Add powdered sugar and lemon juice to the cream cheese, mixing until fluffy.
- Gently fold the macerated strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, keeping some chunks for texture.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry cream cheese filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg to seal.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil (2-3 inches deep) over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place a few eggrolls in the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn gently.
- Remove fried eggrolls and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Continue frying remaining eggrolls in batches.
- Dust fried eggrolls lightly with powdered sugar. Serve with whipped cream for dipping, if desired.
- Enjoy warm for the best experience! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture.
- These eggrolls are best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
