Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (or unsalted with a pinch of salt)
Sugar and Spices:
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cooking and Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons water (for brushing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a compact saucepan, merge fresh peaches, lemon juice, unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon, creating a fragrant mixture.
- Elevate the peach blend to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer for approximately 10 minutes, periodically stirring until the filling transforms into a luxurious, thickened consistency.
- Incorporate pure vanilla extract into the warm peach compote, allowing the mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
- Prepare a clean work surface and position an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing towards you, ensuring edges are accessible.
- Delicately brush the wrapper’s edges with cool water using a pastry brush to create a secure seal.
- Carefully spoon roughly of the cooled peach filling directly into the wrapper’s center.
- Methodically fold the side corners inward, then roll the wrapper tightly and securely, ensuring the filling remains enclosed.
- Seal the final edge with additional water, pressing gently to create a smooth closure.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to precisely 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully lower egg rolls into the hot oil, frying in small batches until they achieve a golden-brown exterior, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer the crispy egg rolls onto a wire rack positioned over paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain.
- Optional: Generously dust the warm egg rolls with powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately alongside vanilla bean dipping sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Perfectly balance sweet and crispy textures in this innovative dessert fusion that transforms traditional peach cobbler into handheld egg rolls.
- Ensure peach filling is completely cooled before wrapping to prevent soggy wrappers and maintain crisp exterior when frying.
- Use precise 350°F oil temperature for golden-brown exterior without burning, creating a crunchy shell that complements soft, warm peach filling.
- Drain egg rolls on wire rack to prevent excess oil absorption, maintaining ideal crispiness and preventing greasy texture.
- Seal edges carefully with water to prevent filling leakage during frying, which could cause dangerous oil splattering.
- Serve immediately after dusting with powdered sugar to enjoy maximum flavor and optimal crisp texture of these decadent dessert egg rolls.
