Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups peaches, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
1 tablespoon water (if using cornstarch)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 egg roll wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (3 tablespoons sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon)

Directions

Prepare the Peach Filling: I cook the diced peaches with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract over medium heat until they’re soft and saucy. If the mixture seems too thin, I mix cornstarch with water and add it to thicken. Once done, I let it cool completely.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, I beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: I lay out an egg roll wrapper, spread a spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center, top it with a spoonful of the peach mixture, then fold and roll it tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
Fry the Egg Rolls: I heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry the egg rolls in batches until they’re golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Then, I drain them on paper towels.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While they’re still warm, I roll the egg rolls in the cinnamon sugar mixture to give them a sweet, spiced coating.

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields 10 egg rolls. Preparation takes about 30 minutes, and cooking takes approximately 20 minutes, making the total time around 50 minutes.

Variations

Fruit Substitutions: I sometimes swap peaches for apples or berries, depending on the season or my preference.
Baking Option: For a lighter version, I brush the assembled egg rolls with oil and bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Air Fryer Method: I also use an air fryer set at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway, for a crispy result with less oil.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I bake them at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until they’re heated through and crispy again. I avoid microwaving, as it tends to make them soggy.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, I often use canned peaches when fresh ones aren’t available. I make sure to drain them well and dice them before cooking.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

Absolutely. I prepare the fillings and assemble the egg rolls, then refrigerate them until I’m ready to fry. This makes them perfect for entertaining.

Can I freeze the egg rolls?

Yes, I freeze the assembled, uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When I’m ready to enjoy them, I fry them directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.

Why did my egg rolls burst open while frying?

Overfilling or not sealing the edges properly can cause them to burst. I ensure the edges are sealed with water and avoid overstuffing.

What dipping sauces go well with these egg rolls?

I love serving them with a simple vanilla glaze or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Conclusion

These Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Egg Rolls are a delightful twist on traditional desserts, combining the creamy richness of cheesecake with the sweet, spiced flavor of peach cobbler. Whether I’m serving them at a party or enjoying a quiet night in, they never fail to impress.
