Ingredients
(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries (diced)
- Egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Strawberry sauce or jam (for drizzling)
Directions
- I start by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- I fold in the diced strawberries gently, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- I lay out an egg roll wrapper, place a spoonful of the cheesecake mixture in the center, and roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a dab of water.
- I heat oil in a deep pan and fry the rolls until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- After letting them cool slightly on a paper towel, I drizzle them with strawberry sauce for the perfect finish.
Servings and timing
This recipe yields about 8 rolls and takes roughly 10 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook, so I have it ready in just 20 minutes. It serves 4 people generously as a dessert.
Variations
I sometimes swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist. For a chocolaty version, I mix in mini chocolate chips with the filling or drizzle with melted chocolate instead of fruit sauce. Using flavored cream cheese, like strawberry or honey walnut, also adds an extra punch of flavor.
Storage/Reheating
If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop them in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for about 5–7 minutes until they’re crisp again. I avoid microwaving them, as it makes the shell soggy.
FAQs
How do I keep the rolls from opening while frying?
I make sure to seal the edges with water and roll them tightly. Letting them rest for a few minutes before frying also helps them hold together.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes, I can bake them at 400°F for about 15–18 minutes until golden brown. I brush them lightly with oil first to get that crispy finish.
Can I make them ahead of time?
Absolutely. I assemble the rolls and refrigerate them (uncooked) for up to a day. I just fry or bake them fresh when I’m ready to serve.
What’s the best oil for frying these?
I prefer using a neutral oil with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
I can, but I make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid extra moisture making the filling too runny.
Conclusion
Strawberry Cheesecake Rolls are the kind of dessert I keep coming back to—simple, elegant, and totally irresistible. Whether I'm treating myself or sharing with others, these rolls never fail to impress with their creamy centers and crispy shells.
