In a deep skillet, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
2️⃣ Make the Filling
Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt in a stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
3️⃣ Assemble the Egg Rolls
Place 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
Seal the edge with a little water to help hold the shape.
Repeat for the remaining wrappers.
4️⃣ Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
Set aside.
5️⃣ Fry the Egg Rolls
Carefully drop 4 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
6️⃣ Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
While the egg rolls are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
7️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Serve the egg rolls warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, or fresh strawberries on top.
Enjoy the crispy, creamy, and sweet perfection of this indulgent treat!
