Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon milk
• vegetable oil for frying
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (16 ounce) package egg roll wrappers
• 1 cup chocolate chips, or as needed
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract. Thin filling with a little milk if it appears too thick; it should be the consistency of jelly.

Step 2

Lay out 1 egg roll on a flat work surface. Add about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling down the middle. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top. Brush edges of the wrapper with water. Fold in sides and roll up, pressing in edges to seal. Place seam side-down on a plate. Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and chocolate chips.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
