Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8–10 egg roll wrappers
  • Butter or oil for frying (about 2 cups)

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/4 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries), chopped
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or nutmeg
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: Start by softening the cream cheese to room temperature to ensure easy mixing. Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in any optional mix-ins you prefer, such as berries, chocolate chips, cinnamon, or lemon zest.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake filling onto the center of the wrapper, being careful not to overfill. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a dab of water or beaten egg to prevent leaking during frying.
  3. Fry Until Golden and Crispy: Heat butter or oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the egg rolls and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the egg rolls and drain them on paper towels to keep them crisp.
  4. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Cheesecake Egg Rolls fresh from the fryer for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with fruit sauce, chocolate, or caramel sauce for an extra special touch.

Notes

  • Chill the Filling: Let the cream cheese filling chill slightly before assembling to prevent it from leaking during frying.
  • Don’t Overfill: Using too much filling can cause the egg rolls to burst while frying.
  • Seal Properly: Use water or egg wash to firmly seal the edges to avoid leaks and messy frying.
  • Temperature Control: Fry at medium heat to cook evenly without burning the wrappers.
  • Use Fresh Oil: Fry in clean oil or butter for the best flavor and crispiness.
