 Ingredients (Makes About 18–20 Bites)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Layer:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
  (or 1 cup strawberry pie filling for a sweeter option)

For Assembling:

• 18–20 eggroll wrappers
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing edges)
• Vegetable oil or canola oil (for frying)

Optional Toppings:

• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Cinnamon sugar mixture
• Chocolate drizzle
• Strawberry sauce

 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium mixing bowl:

1. Beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
2. Add sugar and vanilla extract.
3. Continue mixing for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is light, smooth, and fluffy.

There should be no lumps. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Strawberries

If using fresh strawberries:

1. Wash and dry them completely.
2. Dice into very small pieces.
3. Optional: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over the strawberries and let sit for 10 minutes to enhance sweetness.

If using strawberry pie filling:

• Chop larger strawberry pieces into smaller bits for easier wrapping.

Make sure the strawberry mixture isn’t too watery, or it may leak during frying.

Step 3: Assemble the Eggroll Bites

1. Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape (one corner pointing toward you).
2. Add about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling in the center.
3. Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of strawberries on top of the cheesecake mixture.
4. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg.
5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling.
6. Fold in the left and right sides tightly.
7. Roll upward to seal completely.

Press gently to ensure the edges are sealed well.

Important: Do not overfill. Too much filling can cause the eggrolls to burst while cooking.

Repeat until all wrappers are filled.

 Cooking Methods

Method 1: Deep Frying (Most Crispy)

1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place 3–4 eggrolls into hot oil.
3. Fry for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
4. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

They should be evenly golden and crisp.

Method 2: Air Fryer (Healthier Option)

1. Lightly spray eggrolls with cooking spray.
2. Air fry at 375°F (190°C).
3. Cook for 7–9 minutes, flipping halfway through.

They will be slightly less golden but still deliciously crispy.

Method 3: Oven-Baked

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place eggrolls on a lined baking sheet.
3. Brush lightly with oil.
4. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

Storage & Reheating

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
