Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Mixture:

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the Eggrolls:

12 eggroll wrappers
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Make the Strawberry Mixture:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Assemble the Eggrolls:
Lay an eggroll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling in the center, then add 1 teaspoon of the strawberry mixture on top. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water to secure. Repeat for all wrappers.
Fry the Eggrolls:
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the eggrolls in small batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2–3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve:
Dust the fried eggrolls with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve warm with a side of strawberry jam or whipped cream for dipping.

Servings and Timing

Servings: 12 eggroll bites (1 per serving)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10–15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Variations

Chocolate Drizzle: For an indulgent touch, drizzle the eggroll bites with melted chocolate or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Berry Mix: Swap the strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries, or use a mix for a colorful twist.
Lighter Version: For a lighter option, bake the eggrolls at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, instead of frying them.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to crisp them up again. You can also microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but they will lose some of their crispness.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries. Just thaw them and drain any excess liquid before cooking them down into the jam-like consistency.

Can I make the cheesecake filling ahead of time?

Yes, the cheesecake filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just bring it to room temperature before assembling the eggrolls.

Can I bake the eggrolls instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. However, frying will give you a crispier, golden result.

How do I seal the eggrolls properly?

To seal the eggrolls, dampen the edge with a little water before folding it over. This will help keep the eggroll tightly sealed during frying.

How can I make these eggrolls more indulgent?

You can drizzle them with chocolate sauce or serve them with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Can I make these eggrolls ahead of time?

You can assemble the eggrolls and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before frying them. This allows for a quicker prep when you’re ready to cook.

Can I use a different type of wrapper?

Traditional eggroll wrappers are the best choice, but you can use spring roll wrappers or even tortilla wraps for a different texture.

Can I freeze these eggrolls?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled but uncooked eggrolls. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding extra time if needed.

How can I adjust the sweetness of the filling?

You can adjust the sweetness of the cheesecake filling by adding more or less powdered sugar, depending on your preference.

Can I serve these with something other than whipped cream or jam?

Feel free to serve these eggroll bites with caramel sauce, a fruit coulis, or a yogurt dip for a different flavor pairing.
