2.5 ml lemon juice
2.5 ml pure vanilla extract
1.25 ml fine sea salt
Wrappers
8 egg roll wrappers

How to Make Cheesecake Egg Rolls Dessert Step-by-Step

Step 1: Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and whisk until thoroughly mixed.
Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt on high speed for 1–2 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Arrange an egg roll wrapper in a diamond orientation on your work surface. Place 30 ml of cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold both side corners toward the center, forming an envelope. Moisten the top corner of the wrapper with water and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4: Pour vegetable oil to a depth of approximately 5 cm in a large stockpot. Heat the oil over medium heat to 190°C.
Step 5: Once the oil reaches temperature, carefully add four assembled egg rolls, frying for about 2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
Step 6: While still warm, roll each fried egg roll in the prepared cinnamon sugar until evenly coated. Serve immediately with your choice of caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, chopped strawberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake Egg Rolls Dessert

Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother filling.

For a healthier option, try baked cheesecake egg rolls instead of frying.
