These Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Eggrolls pull together classic comfort and a surprising bite. Flaky shells hold a creamy strawberry filling that's a whole lot of fun to eat. Dip 'em in extra jam or chocolate and share with your people—everyone loves 'em and making them is a breeze.
INGREDIENTS- Eggroll wrappers: 10-12 for wrapping these up
- Cream cheese: 8 oz, leave it out till it's soft
- Strawberry jam or preserves: 1/4 cup for bringing the fruity notes
- Fresh strawberries: chopped up if you want a little extra bite
- Water or egg wash: use to close the rolls (just mix 1 egg with a splash of water)
- Vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp for flavor
- Powdered sugar: 1/4 cup to sweeten the filling
- Vegetable oil: for frying until crispy
- Powdered sugar: for topping, how much is up to you
- Extra strawberry jam or chocolate sauce: grab these for dipping (if you're feeling fancy)
- Step 10:
- If you like, dust the hot eggrolls with powdered sugar and go wild with more strawberry jam or chocolate on the side for dipping.
- Step 9:
- Lift out the fried eggrolls and let them chill on paper towels to dump off the extra oil.
- Step 8:
- Fry a few eggrolls at a time, turning till all sides look crispy and golden (about 2-3 minutes for each batch).
- Step 7:
- Pour 1-2 inches of vegetable oil into a skillet or deep pot and heat it up to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 6:
- Keep rolling and filling till you've finished your wrappers or run out of stuff.
- Step 5:
- Take the bottom corner and pull it over the filling, fold in the sides, then finish rolling tight. Use your finger to seal that last bit with a little water or egg wash.
- Step 4:
- Drop a big spoonful or two of filling in the middle (don't overstuff or it's messy).
- Step 3:
- Lay an eggroll wrapper down like a diamond.
- Step 2:
- Mash in the strawberry jam and some diced strawberries (if you want extra bits), but don’t fully mix—leave it swirly.
- Step 1:
- Whip the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until it’s all creamy and smooth.
- These taste best warm and fresh from the fryer.
- If there’s leftovers, put them in a tight container in the fridge and heat 'em up in the oven within 2 days for that crunch.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice into your strawberry jam for a fresher flavor kick before mixing with the filling.
- Skip the frying and bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway, if you like it lighter.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Chef Tip: Chill the filling mixture in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, it firms up and makes everything easier to roll up.
- Chef Tip: Toss on some cinnamon sugar when they're fresh out of the oil if you love a spiced pop.
Can I make these eggrolls in advance?
Totally. Prep and stash the rolled eggrolls in the fridge. Fry them off just before serving for the crispiest texture.
Can I use other fruit preserves?
Yep! Swap in raspberry, blueberry—whatever fruity jam you’re into.
How do I keep the eggrolls crispy?
Eat them while they're still hot, or pop them in the oven to revive the crunch if they sit for a bit.
