Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit or jam (optional, such as strawberries, blueberries)
Wrapper & Frying
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Butter or oil for frying (enough to cover the skillet bottom)
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: Soften the cream cheese until smooth. Mix thoroughly with sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined. Fold in any fresh fruit or jam if desired.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake filling near the bottom corner. Fold the edges inward and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a dab of water to keep everything inside.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat a skillet with butter or oil over medium heat to cover the bottom. Fry each egg roll until golden brown and crisp on all sides, turning carefully for even cooking. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the Cheesecake Egg Rolls warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, or serve with fruit preserves.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
- Seal edges well with water or beaten egg to prevent filling leakage.
- Maintain medium heat for the oil to ensure even golden crispiness without burning.
- Use dry egg roll wrappers to prevent tearing during rolling.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
