Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– ¼ cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ½ cup heavy cream (or as needed for consistency)
For the Strawberry Filling:
– ½ cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
– 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
– 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For the Eggrolls:
– 10-12 eggroll wrappers (cut into quarters for bite-sized pieces)
– Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Glaze:
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– 1-2 tbsp milk (adjust to desired consistency)
– ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the strawberries release their juice and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. You can add the cornstarch to thicken it more, if needed. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool completely.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the heavy cream to achieve a smooth and slightly runny consistency, similar to cheesecake batter. Stir well and set aside.
3. Assemble the Eggrolls:
Place an eggroll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. In the center, add a small spoonful of the cheesecake filling, followed by a spoonful of the strawberry mixture. Roll the eggroll tightly, folding in the sides as you go to seal the filling inside. Repeat the process until all eggrolls are stuffed.
4. Fry the Eggrolls:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C). Fry the eggrolls in batches, turning them until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.
6. Drizzle and Serve:
Drizzle the glaze over the fried eggroll bites and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
