Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (or mascarpone for a lighter flavor)
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Strawberry Jam (or any fruit jam like raspberry or apricot)
Egg Rolls
- 8 pieces Egg Roll Wrappers (spring roll wrappers can be used for a thinner texture)
For Frying
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil (canola or peanut oil are good alternatives)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, blend together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a luscious cheesecake filling.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the cream cheese mixture into the center, then add a teaspoon of strawberry jam on top. Carefully fold and roll the wrapper tightly to encase the filling securely.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F, ensuring it’s hot enough for frying to achieve a crisp exterior.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Gently place the assembled egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry them for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried egg rolls and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels. Let them rest briefly to absorb any excess oil, ensuring a crisp texture without greasiness.
Notes
- For a lighter flavor, substitute cream cheese with mascarpone.
- Adjust the powdered sugar quantity to reduce sweetness if preferred.
- Use fruit jams like raspberry or apricot for a different fruity twist.
- Spring roll wrappers offer a thinner, crispier texture compared to egg roll wrappers.
- Canola or peanut oil are excellent alternatives for frying oil.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to ensure crispy, non-greasy egg rolls.
