Description
Discover the magic of Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls! A creamy, sweet strawberry and vanilla bean cheesecake filling tucked into wrappers. Recipe details & nutritional breakdown provided.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 10–12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla powder until smooth and creamy. In a separate small bowl, gently toss the finely diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
- Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the wrapper, then top with 1-2 teaspoons of the sugared strawberries.
- Step 3: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll tightly from the bottom upwards, using a dab of water on the top corner to seal the roll completely. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Step 4: Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the cheesecake rolls into the hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5: Remove the fried rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Step 6: Let the rolls cool slightly, then dust generously with additional powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Keep any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days; they are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispness.
- To revive their delightful crispiness, reheat cooled rolls in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crunchy again.
- While wonderful simply dusted with powdered sugar, elevate your dessert by serving these warm rolls with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
- For perfectly golden and non-greasy rolls, always ensure your frying oil is consistently at 350°F (175°C); oil that isn't hot enough can lead to soggy results.
