These crispy strawberry cheesecake egg rolls feature a crunchy exterior with a creamy, fruity filling of cream cheese and fresh strawberries, making for an easy and delightful homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 12 wrappers, square preferred)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (about 150 g)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (30 g)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (25 g)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (1.3 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (canola or peanut oil recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
  2. Gently fold the diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to mash them.
  3. Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface and have a small bowl of water ready for sealing the edges.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of the cream cheese and strawberry filling near one corner of each wrapper.
  5. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly. Roll away from you, sealing the edge with a dab of water using your finger or a pastry brush.
  6. Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm). Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches about 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls in the pan, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the egg rolls and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, toss them lightly in granulated sugar.
  9. Let cool for a couple of minutes to avoid burning, then serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature around 350°F to avoid soggy or burnt egg rolls. Do not overfill wrappers to prevent bursting. Seal edges well with water. Fry in batches to keep oil temperature consistent. Drain on paper towels immediately after frying. For baking, preheat oven to 400°F and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway.
