Why I’ll Love This Recipe
I adore how this dessert marries textures and flavors: the crunch of the eggroll wrapper contrasts beautifully with the silky cream cheese filling and the sweet-tart burst of strawberries. It’s unexpectedly fun, yet familiar—and perfect for impressing guests or treating myself on a cozy night in.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Diced strawberries (about 1 ½ cups)
- Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
- Lemon juice (1 teaspoon)
- Cornstarch (1 teaspoon)
- Cream cheese (1 cup)
- Powdered sugar (¼ cup, plus extra for dusting)
- Vanilla extract (½ teaspoon)
- Egg roll wrappers (approximately 8)
- Egg (for sealing)
- Oil (for frying)
Directions
- I start by cooking the diced strawberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch over medium heat until the mixture thickens, then I let it cool completely.
- I blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until I achieve a smooth, creamy mixture.
- I place a portion of the cheesecake filling and cooled strawberry compote in the center of each egg roll wrapper.
- I fold each one tightly and brush the edges with beaten egg to seal them securely.
- I fry the egg rolls in hot oil (around 350°F / 175°C) until they’re golden brown and crispy, then drain them on paper towels.
- Once slightly cooled, I dust them generously with powdered sugar for that sweet finishing touch.
Servings and timing
- Servings: This recipe makes about 8 stuffed eggrolls.
- Timing:
- Prep (strawberry compote + filling + assembly): ~20 minutes
- Frying: ~5 minutes per batch (depending on fryer or pan size)
- Total time: approximately 30 minutes
storage/reheating
I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though I enjoy them best fresh. To reheat, I warm them gently in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer for about 3–5 minutes—just enough to restore that crisp exterior while keeping the filling creamy.
FAQs
What can I use instead of egg roll wrappers?
I can use spring roll wrappers, phyllo sheets, or even wonton wrappers for smaller, bite-size versions—I just adjust cooking time accordingly.
Can I bake instead of frying?
Yes—I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), brush the stuffed rolls lightly with oil, and bake for around 12–15 minutes, turning halfway, until they’re golden and crispy.
How can I make it less sweet or more tart?
I reduce the powdered sugar in the cream cheese mixture or increase the lemon juice and reduce the sugar in the strawberry compote to add more tartness.
Can I prepare components in advance?
Absolutely—I make the strawberry compote and cheesecake filling a day ahead and keep them chilled. When I’m ready, I assemble and fry for maximum freshness.
Are there fun variations I can try?
Yes—I swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or peach. I also stir in chocolate chips or crushed nuts into the cream cheese filling for extra texture.
Conclusion
I find these Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Eggrolls are a joy to make and to eat. They transform simple ingredients into a show-stopping dessert that feels indulgent yet approachable. Whether for a casual treat or a special occasion, they always bring smiles—and I can’t wait for you to try them.
