Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 eggroll wrappers
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (75 grams) fresh strawberries, diced
Filling Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sealing and Frying Ingredients:
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil
Serving Ingredients:
- Powdered sugar
- Strawberry sauce
- Chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and vigorously whip the cream cheese, granulated sweetener, and aromatic vanilla until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Delicately incorporate the finely chopped fresh strawberries, using a gentle folding technique to preserve their structural integrity and prevent unnecessary mashing.
- Lay out individual egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry work surface, positioning them in a diamond orientation to facilitate precise rolling.
- Spoon a measured portion of the luscious cream cheese and strawberry mixture near the bottom corner of each wrapper, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side edges to create a secure pocket, preventing potential leakage during cooking.
- Continue rolling the wrapper upward, applying gentle pressure to seal the edges, creating a compact and tidy parcel.
- Seal the final edge with a light brushing of water or egg wash to ensure a secure closure.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to the optimal temperature of 350°F, maintaining consistent heat for even frying.
- Gently lower the prepared egg roll bites into the hot oil, cooking in small batches to maintain oil temperature and prevent overcrowding.
- Fry until the exterior turns a golden, crispy brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the bites using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a layer of absorbent paper towels.
- Allow the egg roll bites to cool slightly before serving, which helps set the crisp exterior and prevents potential burns.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a complementary fruit compote for enhanced flavor complexity.
Notes
- Choose room temperature cream cheese for a smoother, lump-free filling that blends easily with other ingredients.
- Dice strawberries into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and prevent large chunks from tearing the wrapper.
- Seal egg roll wrappers tightly by using a bit of water on the edges to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for crispy, golden-brown exterior without burning the delicate wrapper.
