These Cheesecake Egg Rolls with Caramel Sauce combine everything wonderful about creamy cheesecake and crispy fried treats. The golden wrapper gives way to a luscious filling and that homemade caramel sauce takes them over the top. They're my go-to when I want to make something special that's still fun and easy.

A Perfect Sweet Treat

I love how these egg rolls surprise everyone with that first bite of creamy filling in a crispy shell. They're simpler to make than you'd think and work great baked or fried. The caramel sauce makes them feel extra fancy but comes together in minutes.

What You'll Need

  • For the Rolls: Egg roll wrappers cream cheese powdered sugar vanilla sour cream chocolate chips if you like and cinnamon sugar for coating.
  • For the Sauce: Brown sugar heavy cream butter and vanilla make our perfect caramel.

Let's Make Magic

Mix It Up:
Blend your cream cheese sugar sour cream and vanilla until smooth add chips if using.
Roll With It:
Put filling on wrappers fold edges roll tight seal with water.
Get Crispy:
Fry at 350°F until golden roll in cinnamon sugar while warm.

My Best Tips

  • Soft and Smooth: Let that cream cheese get properly soft.
  • Watch the Heat: Keep your oil at 350°F for perfect crispiness.
  • Seal Them Well: Water helps prevent filling leaks.
  • Try Baking: 400°F for 12-15 minutes works great too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes, brush with oil and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes until golden. They won't be quite as crispy as fried.

Why is my filling leaking?

Make sure edges are sealed well with water and don't overfill. Keep filling away from edges when rolling.

Can I make these ahead?

Best served fresh and warm. The wrappers will soften if made too far ahead.

Can I freeze them?

Freeze before frying, wrapped well. Fry straight from frozen, adding extra cooking time.

Why did my caramel crystallize?

Don't stir too much while cooking and make sure sugar dissolves completely before boiling.
