Instructions
Make the Cheesecake Filling
Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar vanilla extract and lemon zest until completely smooth. Fold in strawberry jam and diced fresh strawberries gently. Do not overmix or the filling becomes too runny.
Fill the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Do not overfill or the wrappers will burst during frying.
Roll and Seal
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner. Dab water along the top corner edge to seal completely. Press firmly to ensure no gaps remain.
Fry Until Crispy
Heat oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Fry egg rolls in batches of 3 to 4 for 3 to 4 minutes turning once until evenly golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
Dust and Serve
Dust the warm egg rolls generously with powdered sugar. Slice in half on a diagonal to reveal the filling. Serve with extra strawberry jam or whipped cream on the side.
