How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Eggroll Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream, and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
If you’re using strawberry jam or strawberry puree, add it to the cheesecake mixture and mix again until smooth. This will give the filling a delightful strawberry flavor.
Set the cheesecake filling aside to cool while you prepare the eggroll wrappers.

Step 2: Prepare the Eggroll Bites

Lay an eggroll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper.
Add a small spoonful of diced strawberries on top of the cheesecake filling. Be careful not to overfill the wrappers to ensure they seal properly.
To fold, bring the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold the two side corners inward, and roll tightly to close the eggroll. Use a little water or egg wash (egg beaten with a little water) along the edges to seal the wrapper.
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Fry the Eggroll Bites

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping a small piece of eggroll wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately), carefully place the eggrolls into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the eggroll bites for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn them so that all sides are evenly fried.
Once golden brown and crispy, remove the eggrolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once the eggrolls are cool enough to handle, dust them lightly with powdered sugar.
If desired, serve with extra strawberry jam or fresh strawberries on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Strawberry Cheesecake Eggroll Bites

Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries will give you the best flavor and texture, but you can also use frozen strawberries (thawed and drained) if necessary.
Don’t Overfill: Be cautious not to overstuff the eggroll wrappers, as this can make them difficult to roll and seal, leading to leakage during frying.
Frying Tips: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying (around 350°F or 175°C) to achieve a crispy, golden texture without soaking up too much oil.
Air Fryer Option: For a slightly healthier version, you can make these in an air fryer. Spray the eggrolls with cooking spray and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Make-Ahead: Prepare the cheesecake filling and assemble the eggrolls ahead of time. You can freeze them before frying, then fry them straight from the freezer for a quick and easy dessert whenever you need it.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with Ice Cream: These eggroll bites are great on their own, but they’re even better with a scoop of vanilla or strawberry ice cream.
Pair with Coffee or Dessert Wine: For a grown-up treat, serve these bites with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine like Moscato or Prosecco.
Make it a Platter: Serve several varieties of fruit-filled cheesecake eggrolls on a dessert platter for a fun twist on the classic cheesecake.
