Ingredients
For the Peach Egg Rolls:
- 2 cups chopped peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (or unsalted with a pinch of salt)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons water (for brushing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
For the Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, lemon juice, butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken as it cooks.
- Once thickened, stir in the vanilla extract and set the mixture aside to cool.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, positioning it so that one corner faces you (diamond shape).
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with water.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides inward over the filling, then roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the edges with a bit more water.
3. Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each roll for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once fried, drain the egg rolls on a wire rack set over paper towels.
4. Prepare the Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, milk, and a pinch of salt.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed until you reach a smooth, dip-able sauce.
5. Serve:
- If desired, dust the peach egg rolls with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve warm with the Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Fresh or Frozen Peaches: If using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
- Alternative Filling Ideas: Try swapping the peaches for apples, pears, or berries for a different flavor profile.
- Baking Option: For a lighter version, bake the assembled egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
