Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 1 ½ cups peeled and diced fresh or canned peaches (drained if using canned)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Egg Roll Wrappers and Frying
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola), about 2–3 inches deep
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Optional Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Peach Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Make Cream Cheese Filling (Optional): In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the cooled peach mixture (and a little cream cheese filling if using) onto the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the top edge with a dab of water. Repeat with all wrappers.
- Heat Oil: In a deep pan, heat 2–3 inches of vegetable or canola oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry Egg Rolls: Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired. Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Best served warm and crispy for optimal taste and texture.
- You can alternatively air fry the egg rolls at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through for a healthier option.
- Pair with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce to elevate this dessert treat.
