- Mix the filling:Combine the cooled filling with the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Fill the wrappers:Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the final edge with a little water.
- Heat the oil:Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry until crispy:Fry the egg rolls in small batches for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Prepare the voodoo sauce:Whisk together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, honey, Cajun seasoning, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the heat to taste.
- Serve and enjoy:Let the egg rolls cool briefly, then serve hot with the spicy voodoo sauce for dipping.
