Ingredients
Scale
8 egg roll wrappers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1–2 tablespoons milk (optional, to thin)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth. Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture near the corner closest to you.
Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the top corner with a little water to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
For the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Thin with milk if necessary for drizzling consistency.
Drizzle lemon glaze over warm egg rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying to achieve a crispy texture.
These egg rolls can be served warm or at room temperature.
You can substitute strawberries with other fruits such as blueberries or raspberries.
