Ingredients You’ll Need

I love how this recipe uses just a handful of key ingredients, each one bringing something special to the table. Every component—the creaminess of the cheese, the freshness of the strawberries, the crunch of the wrapper—plays a crucial role in making these Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Recipe absolutely irresistible.

• Cream Cheese (8 oz, room temperature): The rich, smooth foundation of the filling—room temperature makes for easier mixing and an extra-creamy result.
• Granulated Sugar (½ cup): Adds that classic cheesecake sweetness, balancing the tang of the cream cheese and the tartness of the berries.
• Lemon Juice (1 tsp): A dash of brightness that wakes up all the flavors and keeps everything tasting fresh, not flat.
• Fresh Strawberries (1 lb, diced): Vibrant and juicy pockets of fruit throughout each egg roll, bringing color and fruity flavor to every bite.
• Egg Roll Wrappers (12): The secret to a shatteringly crisp, golden exterior—be gentle so they don’t tear when rolling.
• Water: Just enough to seal the edges so all the filling stays put.
• Confectioners’ Sugar: For a pretty, sweet dusting on top just before serving.

Variations

One of the best things about the Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Recipe is how easy it is to put your own spin on it. Feel free to get creative: you can swap ingredients, play with flavors, or make it fit specific dietary needs so everyone gets a bite.

• Berry Swap: Try adding or replacing strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or even peaches for a different fruity twist.
• Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted dark or white chocolate over the finished egg rolls for extra indulgence (and a beautiful finish).
• Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers or spring roll wrappers to make this a gluten-free treat for everyone to enjoy.
• Lighter Filling: Substitute part-skim or light cream cheese for a slightly lighter version without sacrificing too much creaminess.

How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Recipe

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lemon juice using a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is luscious, smooth, and creamy. Folding in the diced strawberries last ensures they stay juicy and vibrant—no mashed berries here!

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Set an egg roll wrapper on a clean workspace with a corner pointing toward you (like a diamond). Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of your sublime cream cheese filling onto the center. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges—this helps seal everything in and keeps those gorgeous juices from escaping.

Step 3: Roll Everything Up

Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling, rolling once so the mixture is snuggled inside. Next, bring the left and right corners to the center, pressing gently to stick. If the edges look dry, dab more water to help them seal. Continue rolling all the way up and give a little press to secure the seam.

Step 4: Air Fry to Golden Perfection

Lightly spray or brush the outside of each egg roll with a bit of cooking oil. Arrange in your air fryer basket (in batches if needed) and air fry at 400°F for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and beautifully golden. (And yes, your kitchen will smell like pure happiness!)

Step 5: Cool & Dust with Sugar

Transfer your hot, crispy egg rolls to a plate to cool for a few minutes—they’ll set up a bit, and the filling won’t be molten. Right before serving, dust generously with confectioners’ sugar for that irresistible “cheesecake shop window” look.

How to Serve Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Recipe

Garnishes

These beauties are finished with the simple, classic touch of a heavy dusting of confectioners’ sugar. For a little extra flair, try a sprig of fresh mint, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a few extra fresh strawberry slices on the serving platter—your guests will feel like they’re in a fancy bakery!

Side Dishes

Pair your Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls Recipe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate contrast of hot and cold, or serve with bowls of whipped cream or strawberry sauce on the side for dipping. These also play well with fresh fruit on the brunch table or as a whimsical finish to a grilled summer dinner.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties, arrange the egg rolls on a cake stand or slate board, cut them on the diagonal for a “cheesecake sushi” vibe, or pop in some festive toothpicks for easy, mess-free eating. They make a stunning addition to dessert bars and bridal brunches—or box them up with parchment for an adorable edible gift.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (don’t count on it!), store cooled egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Try to keep them in a single layer so the outsides stay crispier.

Freezing

For future cravings, freeze the uncooked, assembled egg rolls on a parchment-lined tray until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. No need to thaw—just pop them straight in the air fryer, adding an extra couple of minutes to the cook time.

Reheating

To bring back the crispiness, reheat egg rolls in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes. Skip the microwave if possible—while quick, it softens the wrapper instead of keeping that delightful crunch.
