These dessert egg rolls are stuffed with a rich, sweetened cream cheese filling (with optional fruit or chocolate), fried until golden, and served warm. They’re like cheesecake meets carnival treat — a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!

???? Ingredients:

(Makes 10–12 egg rolls)

For the filling:

8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional:
- 1/2 cup strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries (fresh or jam)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- Zest of 1 lemon for brightness

To assemble:

10–12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Oil, for frying (vegetable or canola)

To serve:

Powdered sugar, for dusting
Optional: Chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or fruit compote for dipping

????‍???? Instructions:

1. Make the cheesecake filling:

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
Fold in optional add-ins like fruit, zest, or chocolate chips.

2. Assemble the egg rolls:

Lay out one wrapper like a diamond. Place about 1 ½ tablespoons of filling in the center.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top, sealing with a brush of beaten egg.
Repeat with remaining wrappers.

3. Fry:

Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
Drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

???? Tips & Variations:

✔️ Want to bake instead? Brush with butter and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 mins, flipping halfway.
✔️ Try a swirl of caramel or Nutella in the filling for extra indulgence.
✔️ Use flavored cream cheese (like strawberry or cinnamon) for a fun twist.
