Ingredients

Scale

Filling

1 (8 ounces) package Cream Cheese, softened
¼ cup Granulated Sugar
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Assembly

1 (16 ounces) package Pre-Made Egg Roll Wrappers
Fresh Strawberries, chopped (for filling and serving)
Chocolate Chips (optional, for filling)
Powdered Sugar, for dusting

For Frying

2 Quarts Oil (for frying, such as vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

Heat the oil: In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 quarts of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°-375°F. This temperature range ensures the egg rolls will cook quickly and become crispy without absorbing too much oil.
Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and thick, creating a creamy sweet filling.
Fill the wrappers: Place 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Add a few chopped strawberries and chocolate chips on top if desired for extra flavor and texture.
Roll the egg rolls: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal. Fold in the sides and firmly roll the wrapper to enclose the filling completely, pressing the edges to seal tightly to prevent leakage during frying. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Fry the egg rolls: Once the oil reaches the proper temperature, carefully fry the egg rolls in batches of 2-3 at a time for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
Drain and serve: Remove the fried egg rolls using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust them generously with powdered sugar and serve warm alongside fresh strawberries for a fresh contrast.

Notes

Be careful when sealing the egg rolls to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
Ensure the oil temperature is within 350°-375°F for optimal crispness and minimal oil absorption.
Chocolate chips are optional but add a lovely sweet touch paired with the strawberries.
Use fresh strawberries both inside the rolls and as a garnish for best flavor.
These egg rolls are best served immediately while warm and crispy.
