this recipe

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the diced strawberries.
2. Assemble the Eggrolls: Lay an eggroll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly, sealing the edges with a dab of water to prevent leaks. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully place the eggrolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Coat (Optional): Roll the hot eggrolls in granulated sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
6. Serve: Serve warm with chocolate sauce, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
