Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced strawberries
Wrapper
- 12 eggroll wrappers
For Frying and Garnish
- Oil, for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
- Cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well 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 breaking them down too much to keep the texture intact.
- Assemble eggrolls: Lay one eggroll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese and strawberry filling in the center of the wrapper, making sure not to overfill for easy wrapping.
- Wrap eggrolls: Fold the sides of the eggroll wrapper over the filling, then tightly roll it up from one corner to the opposite corner to form a small, sealed eggroll bite. Use a little water on the edges to seal if needed.
- Heat the oil: Pour oil into a pan, enough to submerge the eggroll bites halfway, and heat it over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the eggroll bites: Carefully place the eggroll bites in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the fried eggroll bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them onto paper towels to drain any excess oil and keep them crisp.
- Add finishing touch: While still warm, sprinkle the eggroll bites generously with cinnamon sugar to add a sweet and slightly spiced finish before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and creamy texture.
- Do not overfill the eggroll wrappers to prevent them from bursting during frying.
- Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture; frozen strawberries are not recommended.
- Maintain medium heat while frying to ensure the eggrolls cook evenly without burning.
- Serve eggroll bites warm for optimal flavor and texture.
- Leftover bites can be refrigerated and gently reheated in an oven or air fryer for crispness.
