Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls (Printable)

Golden egg rolls filled with creamy cheesecake and cherry compote—crispy, sweet, and best served warm.

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Cherry Filling

04 - 7 ounces cherry pie filling

→ Wrapper

05 - 8 egg roll wrappers

→ Assembly & Frying

06 - 1 large egg, beaten
07 - Vegetable oil, for frying

→ Garnish (optional)

08 - Powdered sugar
09 - Melted chocolate or extra cherry sauce

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
02 - Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation, with a corner facing you.
03 - Spread 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of cheesecake mixture horizontally across the center of the wrapper. Spoon 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top.
04 - Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, brush the edges with beaten egg, and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
05 - Heat 1.5 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry prepared egg rolls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crisply golden.
06 - Transfer cooked egg rolls to paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with melted chocolate or cherry sauce if desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This treat lets you have cheesecake with your fingers—no fork or plate drama, just sweet, crispy delight.
  • I keep coming back because it’s a showstopper that’s actually a cinch to make, especially when cravings strike unexpectedly.
02 -
  • Once I rushed the oil and got soggy spots—now I always wait for gentle bubbling before frying, trust me.
  • Rolling too loosely can make the filling burst out, so tuck firmly but don’t overstuff each wrapper.
03 -
  • If you’re making these ahead, freeze before frying—straight from freezer to hot oil works wonders.
  • The tiniest sprinkle of salt on top right out of the fryer balances the sweetness for a wow moment.
