A quick and easy dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers, lightly fried to golden perfection with a hint of cinnamon and sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)
  • Optional: mini chocolate chips or your favorite jam (strawberry or raspberry)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Mix in ground cinnamon gently. Fold in chocolate chips or jam if using.
  2. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling near the corner closest to you, leaving about one inch on each side.
  3. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners snugly. Roll tightly towards the opposite corner and seal the edge with a dab of water or melted butter.
  4. Repeat until all filling is used, usually about 8 egg rolls.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully place 2-3 egg rolls in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden and crispy, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes per side (3-4 minutes total).
  7. Remove egg rolls with tongs and drain on paper towels.
  8. While still warm, sprinkle the egg rolls with cinnamon sugar mixture (1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon).
  9. Serve immediately, optionally with a drizzle of honey or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during frying. Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for best results. For a lighter option, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Egg rolls can be assembled ahead and frozen; fry directly from frozen adding extra cooking time.
