Equipment Needed

Frying Pan
Measuring cups/spoons
Small bowl of water
Medium Pot

Ingredients for Egg Rolls

8 oz cream cheese, room temp
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ pound strawberries, diced
12 egg roll wrappers
Water (for wetting the edges)

Ingredients for Strawberry Sauce

½ pound strawberries, diced
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp water
1 tbsp corn starch + 1 tbsp water (mixed for slurry)

Instructions

In a pot, add 1 cup sugar, half pound of strawberries and water. Bring to a boil, mashing the strawberries as it cooks (don’t mash if you want a chunkier sauce, just stir so it combines).
Once it comes to a boil, add in the slurry and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Heat oil in a heavy bottom frying pan.
In a mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth, it will be thick.
Prepare the egg rolls (use two eggroll wrappers at a time). Add filling to the center of the wrapper and top with diced strawberries.
Wet the edges of the egg roll wrapper, fold over the filling, fold in the sides using water to secure, then roll the wrapper over on top of itself until it is closed.
Place face down and continue to wrap the eggrolls.
Place into frying pan once oil reaches 350°F.
Fry on each side for about 1-2 mins until golden brown.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with sauce or powdered sugar.

Notes

I placed the filling into a piping bag, but you can use a Ziplock bag or scoop with a spoon.
I doubled the wrappers for extra crunch.
