Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
Assembly
- 12–16 small egg roll or wonton wrappers
- Water, for sealing edges
Frying
- Vegetable oil for frying (about 2 inches deep)
Serving
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Strawberry sauce or chocolate sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries, ensuring even distribution without crushing the fruit.
- Assemble the eggroll bites: Lay out the egg roll or wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper lightly with water to ensure a good seal. Fold the wrapper into a tight triangle or roll shape, pressing edges firmly to prevent filling leakage during frying.
- Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer for accuracy.
- Fry the bites: Carefully add the stuffed eggroll bites in batches to the hot oil. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, turning gently, until they are golden brown and crispy all over.
- Drain and finish: Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked bites and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Once drained, dust the bites lightly with powdered sugar.
- Serve: Serve the bites warm, accompanied with optional strawberry sauce or chocolate sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- These bites are best served fresh for maximum crispiness.
- Reheat leftover bites in the oven to retain their crispy texture instead of the microwave.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture in the filling.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for even frying without absorbing excess oil.
