Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- Try substituting the strawberries with fresh blueberries or raspberries for a different fruit twist.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can deep-fry or bake the egg rolls until golden and crispy.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
Storage
Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a preheated air fryer or oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wrapper soggy.

Ingredients
Filling
- One 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and diced
Wrapping
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Water, for wetting the edges of the egg roll wrappers
- Cooking oil spray, for brushing or spraying the outside of the egg rolls
Topping
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced strawberries to keep some texture.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese and strawberry mixture onto the center of each wrapper.
- Wrap the Egg Rolls: Wet the edges of the egg roll wrapper with water to help seal. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then roll once to enclose the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold the Sides: Fold the left and right corners of the wrapper toward the center, pressing lightly to seal. Add more water as needed to keep the folds secure, creating an open-envelope shape.
- Finish Rolling and Seal: Continue rolling the wrapper tightly until the filling is completely enclosed. Press firmly to seal all edges to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Spray or brush the outside of each egg roll with cooking oil to ensure a crispy golden crust when fried.
- Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cool and Serve: Transfer the cooked egg rolls to a plate and allow them to cool slightly. Just before serving, dust generously with confectioners’ sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overfill the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting during air frying.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the egg rolls at 425°F (220°C) for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve the egg rolls warm for the best taste and texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
