Notes/Tips:

• Baking these doesn’t work! It does not work, the cheese bursts and curdles. It doesn’t even get as crispy.

• Use room-temperature cream cheese or it won’t be smooth.

• If you don’t want to make the garlic dipping sauce you can skip it but it pairs amazingly. You can use a chili sauce to serve.

• Freshly grated mozzarella tastes the best.

• Heavy cream makes it super creamy and gives the best cheese pulls.

• Cooking at high temperatures for a shorter time makes it crispy without any cheese oozing out.

• Make sure the filling is well encased in the spring roll wrapper so it doesn’t ooze out when frying.

• You can freeze these for 1-2 months.

• You MUST freeze before air frying or it won’t work.
