Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (or unsalted with a pinch of salt)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
Spices and Thickeners:
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water (for brushing)
Frying and Finishing Ingredients:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce Ingredients:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Craft a luscious peach compote by gently simmering diced peaches with lemon juice, butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Allow the mixture to bubble and thicken, stirring periodically until the sauce reaches a smooth, glossy consistency, approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove the peach mixture from heat and incorporate vanilla extract, then let the filling cool completely to room temperature.
- Prepare a clean work surface and lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing toward you, creating a diamond shape.
- Lightly moisten the wrapper’s edges with water using a pastry brush to help create a secure seal.
- Carefully spoon the cooled peach filling into the center of the wrapper, ensuring an even distribution.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then gently fold the side corners inward to create a tight envelope.
- Roll the wrapper upward, pressing firmly to seal the edges and prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to exactly 350°F, monitoring temperature with a kitchen thermometer.
- Carefully lower the assembled egg rolls into the hot oil, frying in small batches to maintain consistent oil temperature.
- Rotate the egg rolls occasionally to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration, typically requiring 5-6 minutes of cooking.
- Transfer the crispy egg rolls to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and maintain crispiness.
- Optional: Dust the warm egg rolls with a delicate sprinkle of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
- Serve immediately alongside a creamy vanilla bean dipping sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
