Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tbsps salted butter (or unsalted with a pinch of salt)
- 4 tsps cornstarch
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsps water (for brushing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 2–3 tbsps milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peach Compote Creation: Combine diced peaches, lemon juice, butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small saucepan, simmering over low heat until the mixture transforms into a glossy, thickened sauce with smooth consistency.
- Wrapper Preparation: Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond orientation, moistening edges with water to ensure a robust seal for the upcoming filling process.
- Filling and Rolling: Spoon the cooled peach compote into the wrapper’s center, folding bottom corner over filling, tucking side edges inward, then rolling upward with firm pressure to create a secure, leak-proof package.
- Oil Heating and Frying: Warmup vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to precisely 350°F, carefully submerging egg rolls in small batches to maintain consistent temperature and achieve uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Finishing Touches: Drain freshly fried egg rolls on a paper towel-lined wire rack, optional dusting with powdered sugar, and serve immediately alongside a creamy vanilla bean dipping sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Filling: Cool the peach compote completely before wrapping to avoid moisture breakdown and potential wrapper tearing.
- Sealing Technique: Brush wrapper edges with water and press firmly to create a tight seal, preventing oil seepage during frying.
- Temperature Control: Maintain consistent 350°F oil heat for even, crispy golden-brown egg rolls without burning or undercooking.
- Serving Suggestions: Dust with powdered sugar and pair with vanilla bean sauce for an elevated dessert experience, best enjoyed warm and fresh.
