FAQs

Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble and refrigerate them uncooked for up to 24 hours. Fry just before serving for best texture.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes, bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden and crispy—about 15–18 minutes. Brush with a little oil for extra crispness.

What oil is best for frying?

Neutral oils like vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil work well for deep frying.

How do I keep egg rolls from unrolling during frying?

Make sure to brush the edges with egg wash and seal tightly. Place them seam-side down when frying.

Can I freeze them?

Uncooked egg rolls can be frozen. Fry directly from frozen; just allow extra cooking time.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh strawberries are preferred for texture, but thawed, well-drained frozen strawberries can be used.

How do I avoid soggy egg rolls?

Serve immediately after frying, and don’t overfill them with fruit, as excess moisture can affect the crispness.

Is there a dairy-free option?

Use dairy-free cream cheese and check that your wrappers are also dairy-free.

Can I make mini versions?

Yes, cut the wrappers in half and adjust the filling and frying time for bite-sized treats.

What can I serve with these egg rolls?

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful dessert plate.

Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls are a rich, crispy, and creamy delight that’s both fun to make and a joy to eat. Whether you’re serving them warm at a dinner party or enjoying them as a weekend treat, they bring a creative twist to traditional cheesecake in every satisfying bite.
