Fresh Eggroll Wrappers: Look for refrigerated wrappers (not wonton wrappers) in the produce section
Sizing Matters: Standard 6×6 inch wrappers work best for proper filling ratio

Strawberry Selection Tips

Peak Season Berries: Choose bright red, fragrant strawberries for maximum flavor
Size Consideration: Medium strawberries work best for even dicing
Substitutions: Frozen strawberries can work but must be thoroughly drained to prevent sogginess

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.
