Crunchy Peach Cheesecake Egg Rolls blend the goodness of peach cobbler with smooth cheesecake, all wrapped in a crispy shell. You'll love the mix of textures—crunchy outside with a creamy, fruity inside. These tasty treats combine juicy peaches, warm cinnamon, and velvety cheesecake filling for a crowd-pleasing dessert.
INGREDIENTS- Egg roll wrappers: 12, creating that crunchy outer layer
- Fresh peaches, peeled and diced: 2 cups, canned ones work too (just drain them first)
- Cream cheese, softened: 8 oz, giving that rich cheesecake taste
- Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup (for peach mixture), making the peaches just sweet enough
- Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon, helps make the peach filling thicker
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon (for peach mixture), adds that warm flavor
- Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon, cuts through the sweetness
- Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup (for cheesecake mixture), sweetens up the cheese part
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon, makes everything taste better
- Egg, beaten: 1, works like glue for the wrappers
- Vegetable or canola oil: enough for frying your rolls
- Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup (for cinnamon sugar coating), makes them sparkle
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon (for cinnamon sugar coating), adds spice to the outside
- Powdered sugar: 1/2 cup (for glaze), the base of your sweet drizzle
- Milk: 2-3 tablespoons, thins out your glaze nicely
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon (for glaze), rounds out the drizzle flavor
- Step 1:
- Mix peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a pot. Cook on medium heat, stirring now and then until everything gets thick. Let it cool down.
- Step 2:
- Mix the soft cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar in another bowl until it's nice and smooth. Add the vanilla and stir it in.
- Step 3:
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper flat and put some cheesecake mix and peach filling right in the middle.
- Step 4:
- Take the bottom corner and fold it over your filling, then tuck in the sides and roll it all up tight. Use a bit of beaten egg to stick the edge down.
- Step 5:
- Get your oil hot in a deep pan (about 350°F or 175°C) and fry your rolls for 2-3 minutes each side until they look golden brown. Put them on paper towels to soak up extra oil.
- Step 6:
- While they're still warm, roll them in a mix of 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon if you want them extra sweet.
- Step 7:
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. You can drizzle it on top or serve it on the side for dipping.
- They taste amazing warm but will stay good in a sealed container on your counter for a couple days.
- If they get soft, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to make them crunchy again.
- Try switching peaches for apples or berries if you want something different.
- Make sure you seal the edges really well with egg so the filling doesn't leak when frying.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Chef Emeril Lagasse says adding a tiny bit of nutmeg to the peaches makes them taste even better.
- Chef Giada De Laurentiis thinks you should splurge on good vanilla extract for both the cheesecake part and the glaze.
