- Storage Tips: Keep wrappers covered with a damp paper towel while working to prevent drying
Strawberry Selection Tips

FAQs About Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Eggrolls
Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes! Brush with melted butter and bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until golden. The texture will be different but still delicious.
Q: Why did my eggrolls burst open while frying?
A: This typically happens when they’re overfilled or not sealed properly. Use less filling and ensure all edges are tightly sealed with egg wash.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time for a party?
A: You can assemble them up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate (covered with plastic wrap). Fry just before serving for best results.
Q: How do I know when the oil is the right temperature?
A: Use a thermometer for accuracy. If you don’t have one, test by dropping a small piece of wrapper in the oil – it should bubble immediately and rise to the surface.
Q: My cheesecake filling is too runny. What went wrong?
A: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature but not overly soft. If needed, refrigerate the filling for 15-30 minutes before assembling.
