Ingredient Notes
Cream Cheese
Use softened block-style cream cheese for the richest and smoothest filling.
Cold cream cheese is harder to mix and can leave lumps.
Whipped Topping
Whipped topping lightens the cheesecake mixture and gives the filling a softer texture.
Fold it in gently so the filling stays fluffy.
Strawberries
Use fresh strawberries that are ripe but still firm.
Very juicy strawberries can make the filling too wet, so pat them dry after chopping if necessary.
Egg Roll Wrappers
Standard egg roll wrappers work best.
Keep them covered with a slightly damp towel while assembling so they do not dry out and crack.
How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Eggrolls
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
Remove the stems and dice them into small pieces.
If they release a lot of juice, gently blot them with paper towels.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Base
In a large bowl, beat together:
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add Whipped Topping
Fold in:
1 cup whipped topping.
Mix gently until combined.
Step 4: Add Strawberries
Fold the chopped strawberries into the cheesecake mixture.
Do not overmix.
Step 5: Prepare the Wrappers
Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner pointing toward you.
Keep the remaining wrappers covered while you work.
Step 6: Add the Filling
Place approximately:
2 tablespoons cheesecake filling
near the center of the wrapper.
Avoid overfilling.
Step 7: Fold the Bottom Corner
Fold the bottom corner over the filling.
Step 8: Fold in the Sides
Fold the left and right corners toward the center.
Step 9: Roll
Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner.
Brush the final corner with a small amount of water.
Press gently to seal.
Step 10: Repeat
Continue until all wrappers are filled.
Keep the finished rolls covered while preparing the remaining batch.
Step 11: Heat the Oil
Add approximately:
1½–2 inches vegetable oil
to a deep skillet or saucepan.
Heat to about:
350°F.
Step 12: Fry the Eggrolls
Carefully add several eggrolls to the hot oil.
Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry for approximately:
2–3 minutes per side
until deeply golden and crisp.
Step 13: Drain
Transfer to a wire rack or paper-towel-lined tray.
Allow excess oil to drain.
Step 14: Add Powdered Sugar
While still slightly warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
Step 15: Serve
Serve warm with:
- Fresh strawberries
- Strawberry sauce
- Whipped cream
for dipping or topping.
Expert Tips for the Best Cheesecake Eggrolls
Dry the strawberries well. Excess moisture can make the wrappers soggy.
Don’t overfill. Too much filling can burst through the wrapper during frying.
Seal the edges firmly. Water works as a simple edible glue.
Keep wrappers covered. Dry wrappers are difficult to roll.
Maintain the oil around 350°F. Oil that is too cool makes greasy eggrolls; oil that is too hot can brown the outside before the center warms.
Fry in small batches. Crowding lowers the oil temperature.
Serve fairly soon after cooking. The wrappers are crispiest when fresh.
Air Fryer Strawberry Cheesecake Eggrolls
For a lighter version, preheat the air fryer to approximately:
375°F.
Lightly brush or spray each eggroll with cooking oil.
Arrange them in a single layer with space between each roll.
Air fry for approximately:
8–10 minutes,
turning halfway through.
Cook until golden and crisp.
Dust with powdered sugar after cooking.
Air fryer models vary, so begin checking around 7 minutes.
Baked Strawberry Cheesecake Eggrolls
Preheat the oven to:
400°F.
Place the filled eggrolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly brush with oil or melted butter.
Bake for approximately:
15–18 minutes,
turning once if needed.
Bake until golden and crisp.
They will be slightly less crunchy than the fried version but still delicious.
Delicious Variations
Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake Eggrolls
Add:
- Mini chocolate chips
to the cheesecake filling.

Strawberry Nutella Eggrolls
Spread a thin layer of Nutella inside the wrapper before adding cheesecake filling.
Blueberry Cheesecake Eggrolls
Replace strawberries with fresh blueberries.
Raspberry Cheesecake Eggrolls
Use chopped raspberries and add a little lemon zest.
Mixed Berry Cheesecake Eggrolls
Combine:
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Eggrolls
Add finely diced banana immediately before rolling.
Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Eggrolls
Skip the powdered sugar and toss warm eggrolls in cinnamon sugar.
Strawberry Shortcake Eggrolls
Add crushed shortbread or graham crackers to the filling.
Caramel Cheesecake Eggrolls
Drizzle warm eggrolls with caramel sauce.
What to Serve With Them
These dessert eggrolls pair well with:
- Strawberry sauce
- Chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh berries
- Cheesecake dip
- Powdered sugar
For a dessert platter, serve them with brownies, cheesecake bites, cookies, and fresh fruit.
Make Ahead & Party Prep
The cheesecake filling can be prepared up to:
1 day ahead.
Store it covered in the refrigerator.
For best results, assemble the eggrolls shortly before cooking.
If you need to assemble them ahead, place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray, cover tightly, and refrigerate for a few hours.
Avoid storing filled raw eggrolls too long because moisture from the strawberries can soften the wrappers.
Storage, Freezing & Reheating
Refrigerator
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for about:
2–3 days.
The wrappers will soften over time.
Freezer
For best results, freeze the assembled eggrolls before cooking.
Arrange them in a single layer on a tray until firm.
Transfer to a freezer-safe container.
Cook directly from frozen, adding extra time as needed.
Air Fryer Reheating
Reheat at moderate heat for several minutes until the shell becomes crisp again.
Oven Reheating
Reheat at:
350°F
until warm and crisp.
Microwave
The microwave will warm the filling but soften the shell.
For crispy leftovers, use the oven or air fryer.
