Ingredients
For the Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp sugar (to toss with strawberries)
For Assembly
- 10–12 eggroll wrappers
- 1 beaten egg (for sealing)
- Oil for frying
Optional Topping
- Powdered sugar
- Melted chocolate or strawberry sauce
Instructions
1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling
- Toss the diced strawberries with 1 tbsp sugar and set aside.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the sweetened strawberries gently.
2. Fill the Eggrolls
- Place an eggroll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner facing you (diamond shape).
- Add 2–3 tbsp of filling near the bottom point.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Roll tightly and seal the top corner with a little beaten egg.
- Repeat with all wrappers.
3. Fry the Eggrolls
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until hot (about 350°F/175°C).
- Fry eggrolls in batches, turning as needed, until golden and crispy — 2–3 minutes.
- Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
4. Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar OR drizzle with chocolate or strawberry sauce.
- Serve warm for the best texture.
You Must Know
- Make sure wrappers are tightly sealed or filling may leak out.
- Fresh strawberries prevent excessive moisture — avoid frozen unless thawed and well-drained.
- Frying too hot will brown the outside before the center warms.
Pro Tips
- Chill the cream cheese filling for 15 minutes to help it thicken.
- For extra crispiness, fry twice — a quick second fry makes them super crunchy.
- Air fryer option: spray lightly with oil and cook at 380°F (195°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Strawberries: Raspberries, blueberries, or mixed berries
- Cream cheese: Mascarpone for extra richness
- Eggroll wrappers: Large wonton wrappers (use 2 per roll)
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with vanilla ice cream
- Dip in chocolate ganache
- Dust with cinnamon sugar for a churro-like twist
Storage Tips
- Best eaten fresh, but you can refrigerate leftover eggrolls for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to crisp back up.
- Do not store with toppings — add sauces only when serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
→ Can I bake them instead of frying?
Yes — bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, brushing with butter or oil.
→ Why is my filling too runny?
Strawberries may have too much moisture. Pat them dry before mixing.
→ Can I freeze them?
Yes — freeze un-fried rolls and fry straight from frozen (add 1–2 minutes).
