Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounces package) Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 (16 ounce package) Pre-Made Egg Roll Wrappers
- Fresh Strawberries (chopped)
- Chocolate Chips (optional)
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
- 2 Quarts Oil (for frying)
Method
- Heat the oil for frying in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, aiming for 350°F to 375°F.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth and thick.
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper and spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling into its centre.
- Add a few chopped strawberries or chocolate chips over the filling if they are being used, leaving plain ones just as they are.
- Moisten the wrapper edges with water, fold the sides in, and roll it up tightly, pressing the seam closed; repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling.
- Fry the rolls in small batches of two or three for 1 to 2 minutes per side until each one is evenly golden brown.
- Lift the fried rolls onto paper towels to drain off the surface oil.
- Dust the warm rolls with powdered sugar and serve them with the remaining fresh strawberries.
