Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you need to whip these up without feeling like a cooking disaster:

• 8–10 eggroll wrappers (store-bought, because ain’t nobody got time for homemade)
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened (the softer, the better—don’t skip this)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped small
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing those magical pockets)
• Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or whatever’s in your pantry)
• Optional: powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles for extra flair

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the filling: Mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in chopped strawberries gently—you want bites, not smoothie.
2. Fill the wrappers: Lay an eggroll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of filling near one corner.
3. Roll ‘em up: Fold the corner over the filling, fold the sides in, then roll tightly to seal. Brush the final edge with beaten egg to keep it shut.
4. Heat the oil: Pour oil into a deep pan, about 1–2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F (175°C). Don’t rush this—hot oil is happy oil.
5. Fry those babies: Fry 2–3 at a time until golden brown (roughly 2–3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Optional glam: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle chocolate, or go nuts—literally.
7. Serve immediately: Crunchy outside, creamy inside. It’s basically perfection in a bite.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping the egg wash: Without it, your eggrolls might explode like a tragic food crime scene.
• Overfilling: They look cute, but overstuffing = messy kitchen disaster.
• Cold cream cheese: Nobody wants lumpy bites. Soften it!
• Crowding the pan: Fry in batches, not all at once. Oil temperature drops = soggy eggrolls.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No fresh strawberries? Use frozen (thawed first) or even strawberry jam in a pinch.
• Cream cheese substitute: Mascarpone or ricotta works, but cream cheese is king.
• Baking instead of frying: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 mins, flipping halfway. Slightly less crunchy, still delicious.
• Sweet twist: Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a flavor remix.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Sure, but fry them fresh. Pre-made fried ones get sad and soggy.

Can I freeze them?

Yes! Wrap tightly before frying. Fry straight from frozen; just add a minute or two to cooking time.

Can I air fry them?

Absolutely. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 mins. Spray lightly with oil for golden perfection.

Can I use a different fruit?

Totally. Blueberries, raspberries, or even tiny apple chunks with cinnamon—go wild.

Do I have to deep fry?

Nope. Oven or air fryer works fine. Deep frying is just that extra crunch bonus.

Can I skip sugar in the filling?

You could, but why do that to yourself? Sweet life is short.

What’s the best dipping sauce?

Chocolate, caramel, strawberry coulis… basically anything that makes you feel fancy.
