- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced - 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice Fresh strawberries are key to this recipe. They bring bright flavor and sweetness. The lemon juice adds a nice zest and enhances the strawberry taste. This combination creates a delicious filling. - 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature - 1/3 cup powdered sugar - Whipped cream (for serving) Cream cheese gives the filling its rich, creamy texture. Powdered sugar sweetens the mix, making it taste just like cheesecake. Whipped cream is a perfect topping that adds a light, fluffy touch. - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar - 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers - 1 package of egg roll wrappers (about 20-25 wrappers) Granulated sugar helps macerate the strawberries. It draws out their juices and makes them sweeter. Crushed graham crackers form a crunchy coating, mimicking the crust of a traditional cheesecake. Egg roll wrappers hold everything in, making them fun to eat. - Oil for frying Oil is essential for frying. It creates that crispy, golden-brown exterior we all love. Choose vegetable or canola oil for best results. Make sure it reaches 350°F for perfect frying. First, we start with the strawberries. Dice 1 cup of fresh strawberries into small pieces. In a medium bowl, mix the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. This step helps bring out the strawberries' natural sweetness. Stir gently and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This process is called macerating. It makes the strawberries juicy and tasty. Next, we make the cheesecake filling. In another bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth. You want it to be creamy and free of lumps. After that, fold in the macerated strawberries carefully. Mixing gently helps keep the strawberry pieces whole and adds flavor. Now it’s time to assemble the eggrolls. Take an egg roll wrapper and place it in a diamond shape with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake-strawberry filling into the center. Start at the bottom corner and fold it over the filling. Then, fold in the left and right sides to close it up. Finally, roll it upwards towards the top corner. Use a little water to seal the edge. Repeat this with the rest of the wrappers and filling. For frying, heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat. You want the oil to reach 350°F (175°C). Fry the eggrolls in batches. Be careful not to overcrowd them. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to take them out and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain extra oil. To finish, roll each warm eggroll in 1/2 cup of crushed graham crackers. This gives them a crunchy coating that tastes like cheesecake crust. Serve the eggrolls warm with a dollop of whipped cream on the side for dipping. You can also add extra crushed graham crackers on a serving platter and garnish with strawberry slices. If you like, drizzle some chocolate sauce for a fun touch! To fry eggrolls right, keep an eye on the oil temperature. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) for perfect frying. Use a thermometer to check. If the oil is too hot, the outside burns, while the inside stays raw. If it's too cool, the eggrolls soak up oil and turn soggy. To avoid soggy eggrolls, fry in small batches. This keeps the oil hot. Don't crowd the pan. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain them on a paper towel right after frying to remove excess oil. You can customize the cheesecake filling with different fruits. Try blueberries or raspberries for a twist. These fruits add unique flavors and colors. Adjust sweetness to fit your taste. If you like it sweeter, add more powdered sugar. For a tangy twist, reduce the sugar and add more lemon juice. Make it your own! Garnish your eggrolls for a stunning look. Dust them with crushed graham crackers for that classic cheesecake touch. Add fresh strawberry slices on the side for color and freshness. Consider serving with sauces. A drizzle of chocolate sauce adds richness. You can also offer caramel or berry sauce for extra flavor. These simple touches make your dessert even more inviting! {{image_4}} You can switch up the flavor of your eggrolls to keep things fun. Here are two tasty ideas: - Chocolate cheesecake eggrolls: Use cream cheese and add cocoa powder. Fold in chocolate chips. This makes a rich and sweet treat. - Mixed berry cheesecake eggrolls: Swap strawberries for a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. This brings a colorful twist and bright flavors. If you want a lighter version, here are some ideas: - Air frying version: Skip the oil and use an air fryer. Spray eggrolls lightly with cooking spray. Cook until golden and crisp for a healthier treat. - Using low-fat cream cheese: Choose low-fat cream cheese for the filling. This cuts down on calories while still keeping the creamy texture. You can easily adapt these eggrolls for various diets. Here are some options: - Gluten-free options: Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers. These are available at many grocery stores. This way, everyone can enjoy them. - Vegan adaptations: Replace cream cheese with vegan cream cheese. Make sure to use plant-based wrappers as well. This allows vegans to enjoy delicious dessert eggrolls too. Store your cooked eggrolls in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge. They stay fresh for about 2 to 3 days. Make sure they cool down before sealing. This helps avoid sogginess. If you want to keep them crispy, place a paper towel in the container. This absorbs any extra moisture. To freeze the eggrolls, let them cool completely first. Lay them flat on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for about an hour. After that, transfer the eggrolls to a freezer bag. Remove as much air as you can from the bag. They will stay good for about 2 to 3 months. Label the bag with the date to keep track. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat your eggrolls in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the eggrolls on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10 to 15 minutes until they are warm and crispy. You can also use an air fryer. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and heat for about 5 to 7 minutes. This keeps them crispy and delicious. To stop eggrolls from exploding, make sure to seal them tight. Use a little water on the edges of the wrapper. This helps keep the filling inside. Fry at the right temperature, about 350°F (175°C). If the oil is too hot, the outside cooks too fast, and the inside can burst. Yes, you can bake them! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the eggrolls on a baking sheet. Brush them lightly with oil for a golden finish. Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even browning. If you don't have egg roll wrappers, try using spring roll wrappers or wonton wrappers. You can also use phyllo dough. Just cut it to size and layer a few sheets for extra crunch. These eggrolls stay fresh in the fridge for about 2-3 days. Store them in an airtight container. For the best taste, eat them warm. Absolutely! You can prepare the filling a day in advance. Just keep it in the fridge in a sealed container. When you're ready to cook, simply assemble the eggrolls and fry or bake them.

Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 package of egg roll wrappers (about 20-25 wrappers)

Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola)

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for coating)

Whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the strawberries in sugar, then allow them to macerate for approximately 10 minutes. This process will enhance their natural sweetness and juiciness while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

    In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.

      Carefully fold the macerated strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring that the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout. Mix gently to preserve the integrity of the strawberries.

        On a clean, flat surface, lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape with one corner facing you. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake-strawberry filling into the center of the wrapper.

          Starting from the bottom corner, fold it over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides to enclose the filling. Roll the wrapper upwards towards the top corner, sealing it with a dab of water to ensure it stays closed during frying. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

            In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

              Fry the egg rolls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

                While the egg rolls are still warm, roll each one in crushed graham crackers to create a crunchy, sweet coating that mimics traditional cheesecake crust.

                  Serve the egg rolls warm, accompanied by a generous dollop of whipped cream on the side for dipping.

                    Prep Time: 20 min | Total Time: 30 min | Servings: Approximately 8 egg rolls

                      Presentation Tips: Arrange the warm egg rolls on a serving platter, lightly dusted with additional crushed graham crackers, and garnish with a few strawberry slices for an inviting touch. Feel free to drizzle some chocolate sauce for an extra decadent flair!
