  • Cream Cheese: Take this out of your fridge and soften it to room temperature before you mix it with the other ingredients.  
  • Granulated Sugar: This will add a sweet taste to the cream cheese.
  • Vanilla Extract: This will enhance the sweet flavors.
  • Pre-Made Egg Roll Wrappers: You can find these in the international section of your local grocery store.
  • Strawberries: You can chop these up into small pieces and put them into your filling. 
  • Chocolate Chips: These are optional but you can use them in the filling with the strawberries or on their own!
  • Powdered Sugar: The powdered sugar will be used to dust the top of the egg rolls.
  • Oil: You will fry the egg rolls in oil to give them that crispy, outside edge.

How to Make Cheesecake Egg Rolls

These egg rolls are so simple and easy that they will become your new go-to dessert recipe! You can change them up, mix things in and top them with all sorts of delicious ingredients!

  1. Heat Oil: Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium high heat until it reaches 350°-375°. Meanwhile prepare the egg rolls.
  2. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. It should be pretty thick.
  3. Add Filling to Wrappers: Scoop 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of the egg roll wrappers. If desired, add a few chocolate chips or chopped strawberries on top.
  4. Press Edges to Close: Wet the edges of the egg roll wrapper, fold in the sides and the roll, pressing the edges to close. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
  5. Fry: Once the oil has finished heating, fry the egg rolls in batches of 2-3 at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until they are nice and golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain.
  6. Add Powdered Sugar: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh strawberries.

Mix-Ins and Toppings

A great thing about these delicious cheesecake egg rolls is how versatile they are! Once you have made that creamy and delicious filling, you can add all sorts of mix-ins and toppings to make them fit any occasion! Here are a few ideas to try.

  • Sauce: Try drizzling the top of these with a sauce once they are cooked. Some of my favorits are caramel sauce, chocolate sauce or salted caramel sauce
  • Mix-ins: You can add just about anything to the cheesecake filling! Try out some sprinkles, mini m&m’s, raspberries, cherries or toffee. The list is endless so pick your favorite flavors and add them in!

How to Store and Reheat Leftover Egg Rolls

These cheesecake egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in your fridge. They will last for about 3 days. When you are ready to reheat them, brush them with some vegetable oil and place them in your air fryer. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes at 390 degrees. Make sure to flip them halfway through! Add your toppings and enjoy!
