Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (75 g) fresh strawberries, diced
- 12 eggroll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
- vegetable oil, for frying
- powdered sugar, for dusting
- strawberry sauce or chocolate sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Cream Preparation: Whip cream cheese with sweetener and vanilla until smooth and creamy, creating a luxurious base for the filling.
- Strawberry Integration: Gently fold diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining the fruit’s delicate texture and vibrant character.
- Wrapper Setup: Position egg roll wrappers diagonally, preparing for precise filling and rolling technique.
- Filling and Wrapping: Place cream cheese-strawberry mixture near one corner of the wrapper, then fold bottom corner over filling and carefully tuck in side edges to create a compact parcel.
- Sealing Technique: Roll wrapper tightly, using a delicate water-brush seal to secure the final edge and prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Oil Preparation: Heat neutral cooking oil to 350°F in a deep skillet, creating the perfect environment for crispy transformation.
- Frying Process: Gently lower assembled egg roll bites into hot oil, frying until they achieve a golden-brown, crisp exterior that promises irresistible crunch.
- Finishing Touch: Transfer fried bites to paper towels to drain excess oil, then allow a brief cooling period before serving with optional powdered sugar or fresh strawberry garnish.
Notes
- Cream Cheese Consistency: Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing, preventing grainy texture in the filling.
- Wrapper Sealing Technique: Seal edges completely to prevent filling leakage during frying, using water or egg wash as a natural adhesive.
- Oil Temperature Control: Maintain consistent 350°F oil temperature for even golden-brown coloration and crispy exterior without internal sogginess.
- Strawberry Moisture Management: Pat fresh strawberries dry before adding to cream cheese to prevent excess liquid that could compromise wrapper integrity.
