Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Oreo Filling:

1. Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin, or pulse them in a food processor until finely crumbled.
2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Assemble the Egg Rolls:

3. Prepare the Wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
4. Add the Filling: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the Oreo mixture onto the lower center of the wrapper.
5. Fold and Roll: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg, then roll tightly to seal.
6. Repeat: Continue until all the wrappers are filled and rolled.

Fry the Egg Rolls:

7. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
8. Fry Until Golden: Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Drain and Cool: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve and Enjoy:

10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle the fried egg rolls with additional powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
11. Add Toppings: Drizzle with melted chocolate or serve with whipped cream or ice cream for extra indulgence.

How to Serve Oreo Egg Rolls

Oreo Egg Rolls are best enjoyed warm and crispy. Here are some fun ways to serve them:

• With a Dipping Sauce: Serve with chocolate sauce, caramel, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Topped with Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream adds extra creaminess.
• As a Party Treat: Arrange them on a platter for a fun dessert table centerpiece.
• With Coffee or Milk: Perfect for dunking into a warm drink.

Additional Tips for Oreo Egg Rolls

Here are some tips to ensure this recipe turn out perfect every time:

• Seal the Wrappers Well: Use the egg wash to firmly seal the edges to prevent them from opening during frying.
• Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make it harder to seal and might cause the egg roll to burst open.
• Fry in Small Batches: Overcrowding the pan can lower the oil temperature and make the egg rolls greasy.
• Use a Thermometer: Ensure the oil is around 350°F (175°C) to get that perfect crispy texture.
• Try Baking or Air Frying: For a lighter option, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes or air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 8-10 minutes.
• Experiment with Fillings: Add peanut butter, Nutella, or even marshmallow fluff for different flavors.
• Use Double-Stuffed Oreos: For an even creamier filling, use double-stuffed Oreos.
