Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced strawberries
Assembly
- 12 eggroll wrappers
Frying and Topping
- Oil, for frying (about 2 cups, enough for shallow frying)
- Cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Strawberries: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, distributing them evenly without crushing the fruit.
- Fill the Wrappers: Place one eggroll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the cream cheese and strawberry mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Roll the Eggrolls: Fold the lower corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly to enclose the filling. Continue rolling upward firmly, sealing the edges as you go to prevent leakage.
- Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a skillet or pan to a depth of about 1 inch and heat over medium heat until shimmering and hot but not smoking, approximately 350°F if using a thermometer.
- Fry the Eggroll Bites: Carefully place the assembled eggrolls seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried eggroll bites with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil and cool slightly.
- Finish with Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately sprinkle the warm eggroll bites with cinnamon sugar to add extra sweetness and a hint of spice. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling without lumps.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture in the filling.
- Seal the eggroll wrappers tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Maintain oil temperature to avoid greasy or undercooked eggrolls; use a thermometer if possible.
- These are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated briefly in a hot oven or air fryer for crispiness.
