Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 and 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Egg roll wrappers
- Water for brushing
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Neutral oil for frying
- Caramel sauce (for serving)
- Chocolate sauce (for serving)
- Chopped strawberries (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat approximately 2 inches of oil in a large stockpot over medium heat until oil reaches 375°F.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed, until smooth and creamy.
- Arrange an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on your work surface. Place 2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. Brush the top corner with water, roll tightly to seal, and set aside. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside for coating.
- Working in batches, fry 4 egg rolls at a time in the hot oil for approximately 2 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.
- While still warm, roll each fried egg roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to evenly coat.
- Serve warm with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, chopped strawberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar as desired.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature to ensure even frying.
- For a twist, consider adding fruit preserves to the cream cheese filling.
