Print Recipe

Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls are a delightful dessert that pairs the creamy richness of cheesecake with the crispiness of golden fried egg roll wrappers. Filled with sweet maraschino cherries and a smooth cream cheese mixture, these handheld treats offer a quick, customizable, and mess-free indulgence perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maraschino cherries, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Assembly

  • 8–10 egg roll wrappers
  • Water (for sealing edges)

Frying

  • Butter or oil, for frying (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest if using. Mix until smooth and creamy. Chop the maraschino cherries and gently fold them into the cheesecake mixture to distribute evenly.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointed toward you. Spoon about two tablespoons of the cherry cheesecake filling near the bottom center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly, and roll up firmly like a burrito. Seal the edges with a dab of water to prevent leaking during cooking.
  3. Fry Until Golden: Heat butter or oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Place the filled egg rolls seam side down and fry, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides—about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  4. Serve Warm: Serve the Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of cherry or chocolate sauce, or alongside fresh fruit or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Keep unused egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
  • Use softened cream cheese (not melted or cold) for smooth mixing and easy spreading.
  • Seal the edges securely with water to avoid filling leakage during frying.
  • Maintain medium frying heat to ensure even cooking without greasiness.
  • Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels for a lighter bite.
