Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Recipe

Alright, let’s be real—dessert has evolved way past boring old cake and ice cream. You’re here because you’re not afraid to step up your dessert game, right? Ever wondered what happens when cheesecake meets crispy egg rolls? Oh, you’re in for a treat. IMO, this recipe is basically a mic-drop moment for your taste buds.

Why do I love these Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls so much? Simple. They’re crunchy, creamy, fruity, and ridiculously easy to make. Basically, they’re everything your dessert table didn’t know it was missing. Let me walk you through it, like a friend who just can’t keep a good recipe secret. 😉

Why Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Are That Girl

So why not just make a cheesecake? Or an egg roll? Or, heck, a cherry pie?

Because together, they’re unstoppable. These egg rolls bring together:

• Crispy, golden-brown wrapper.
• Creamy, tangy cheesecake filling.
• Sweet-tart cherry pie topping.
• A dessert that actually impresses people.

Oh, and FYI: they’re portable. Ever tried eating a slice of cheesecake while standing at a party? Awkward. But these? Hand-held perfection.

What You’ll Need (a.k.a. the VIP List)

You don’t need to raid the entire grocery store, promise. Here’s the short and sweet shopping list:

Ingredients:

• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
• 8–10 egg roll wrappers
• Vegetable oil (for frying)
• Powdered sugar (optional, for that fancy finish)

You probably already have half this stuff at home. If not, it’s all super easy to find. And no, you can’t skip the cream cheese. (Why would you even try? 😏)

How to Make Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Like a Pro

Let’s get to the good part. No fluff. No unnecessary waiting. Just sweet, crunchy bliss.

Step 1: Mix That Filling

Grab a bowl and beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pro tip: use a hand mixer unless you enjoy arm day while baking.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper flat, diamond-style (you know, one corner pointing at you).
Spoon about 2 tbsp of cheesecake filling in the center, then add a dollop of cherry pie filling on top.

Roll it up like this:

• Fold the bottom corner over the filling.
• Fold in the sides (like a burrito).
• Roll it up tightly and seal the tip with a little water.

Repeat. And don’t overfill—unless you enjoy cleaning cherry filling off your kitchen walls. 😬

Step 3: Fry ‘Em Up

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan (medium-high heat). When it hits around 350°F (175°C), gently slide in the egg rolls. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: Don’t crowd the pan. Unless you want soggy egg rolls. And nobody wants soggy egg rolls.

Step 4: Serve and Slay

Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar if you’re feeling extra. Serve warm because… do I really need to explain?

Tips That’ll Make You Look Like a Dessert Genius

I’ve made these way too many times (you’re welcome), so here’s what I’ve learned:

• Don’t skip softening the cream cheese, or you’ll end up with lumpy filling. Ew.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough. Too cool? Soggy rolls. Too hot? Burnt outsides, raw insides.
• You can make these ahead! Just assemble, freeze, and fry when ready. Boom—instant dessert hero.

Ever wondered what happens if you bake them instead? Honestly… don’t. They’re OK baked, but the crispy fried version wins every single time.

Variations (Because Who Doesn’t Like Options?)

Feeling fancy? Want to switch it up? Here are a few ways to remix these bad boys:

Other Fruits

• Blueberry pie filling
• Strawberry preserves
• Apple pie filling + a sprinkle of cinnamon (trust me)

Toppings

• Drizzle with melted chocolate
• Whipped cream on the side
• Crushed graham crackers sprinkled on top

You could even throw in some mini chocolate chips into the filling if you’re feeling wild. Why not?

Why These Are Better Than Regular Cheesecake (Yes, I Said It)

Ok, so before cheesecake purists come at me… hear me out.

• Portable: You don’t need a fork, a plate, or dignity.
• Quicker: No hours of baking and chilling.
• Crispy factor: Cheesecake wishes it could crunch like this.
• Crowd-pleaser: People at parties literally ask me for the recipe every time. Not kidding.

If you’ve ever brought a plain cheesecake to a party and had leftovers (ouch), bring these instead. Watch them disappear.

What to Serve With Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls?

You could totally let them shine on their own, but if you’re feeling extra:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream (because duh)
• Hot fudge or caramel drizzle
• Fresh cherries on the side (look at you being classy)

Or, if you’re me, just eat three in a row over the sink so nobody judges you. 😉

FAQS about Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Because nobody’s perfect. And because I’ve made every mistake already.

Overstuffing

Tempting, but nope. You’ll regret it when the filling leaks all over the oil.

Not Sealing Properly

Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and press them firmly. Unless you like deep-fried soup. 🤷

Wrong Oil Temperature

Invest in a thermometer. Or at least test with a small piece first. If it sizzles right away, you’re good.

Can You Make Them Ahead of Time?

Oh, absolutely. Assemble and freeze them raw. Then fry straight from frozen when ready. Just add an extra minute or two to the cooking time.

FYI, they don’t stay crispy for long once fried. So serve them fresh if you can.
