Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (16 ounces / 454 grams) package egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) milk (optional)
Cooking Ingredient:
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Blend softened cream cheese and white sugar in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform texture. The mixture should feel smooth and luxurious.
- Incorporate vanilla extract thoroughly, ensuring the aromatic essence permeates the entire cream cheese base.
- Adjust mixture consistency by adding a minimal amount of milk, creating a spreadable yet stable filling that maintains its structural integrity.
- Position an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, orienting it like a diamond with one point facing you.
- Deposit the cream cheese mixture directly down the center of the wrapper, leaving sufficient margins around the edges for proper sealing.
- Distribute chocolate chips strategically across the cream cheese filling, allowing for delectable molten pockets during cooking.
- Moisten wrapper edges using water, then carefully fold sides inward and roll tightly, pressing seams to create a secure seal that prevents filling leakage.
- Continue filling and rolling remaining wrappers, arranging completed egg rolls seam-side down on a clean plate.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan to 350°F, ensuring sufficient depth for complete submersion of egg rolls.
- Carefully lower egg rolls into hot oil, frying in small batches for approximately 2 minutes per side until achieving a deep golden-brown color.
- Transfer fried egg rolls to paper towel-lined surfaces, allowing excess oil to drain and ensuring a crisp exterior. Let cool briefly before serving.
Notes
- Opt for full-fat cream cheese to ensure a rich, velvety texture that melts smoothly during cooking.
- Chill the cream cheese mixture for 15 minutes before filling to make it easier to handle and prevent leaking.
- Consider using gluten-free egg roll wrappers to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
