Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups peeled and diced peaches
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
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 egg roll wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying
¼ cup cinnamon sugar (3 tbsp sugar + 1 tbsp cinnamon)

Directions

Cook the Peaches: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the peaches soften and release their juices.
Thicken the Filling (Optional): If you want a thicker peach filling, mix the cornstarch with water and add it to the peach mixture. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the filling thickens. Let it cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, positioned like a diamond. Add 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling and 1 tablespoon of the peach filling in the center of the wrapper.
Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly to enclose the filling and seal the edges with a little water to keep them closed.
Fry the Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350°F. Fry the rolls in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after frying, roll the hot egg rolls in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat them.

Variations

Fruit Variations: While peaches are the star of this recipe, you can swap them for other fruits like apples, strawberries, or blueberries. Adjust the spices accordingly to match the fruit.
Baked Option: If you prefer a less greasy version, bake the rolls at 375°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers to make this recipe gluten-free.
Nutty Twist: Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the peach filling for added crunch and flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept for a day or two.
Reheating: To reheat, place the rolls in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in an air fryer for 2-3 minutes to regain their crispiness.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Just be sure to drain any excess liquid before cooking to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.

2. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the rolls just before frying for the best results.

3. Can I bake these rolls instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake the rolls at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, to get a golden and crispy exterior without frying.

4. How do I keep the filling from leaking out while frying?

Be sure to tightly seal the edges of the egg roll wrappers with water to prevent the filling from leaking out while frying. Also, avoid overstuffing the rolls.

5. Can I make these rolls in advance and freeze them?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled rolls before frying. Freeze them on a baking sheet in a single layer, then store them in a freezer bag. Fry them directly from the freezer for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

6. Can I use a different type of cheese for the cheesecake filling?

While cream cheese provides the best flavor and texture, you can experiment with mascarpone or ricotta cheese for a different taste and creaminess.

7. Can I make a dairy-free version of these rolls?

To make this recipe dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and a non-dairy substitute for butter in the peach filling. You can also substitute non-dairy milk for the cheesecake filling if necessary.

8. Can I use store-bought cinnamon sugar?

Yes, you can use pre-made cinnamon sugar, but making your own with the right ratio of cinnamon and sugar will give the perfect balance of flavor.

9. How can I make these rolls spicier?

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of ground ginger to the peach filling for a spicy kick that complements the sweetness of the peaches.

10. Can I serve these rolls with a sauce?

Yes! These rolls are delicious with a drizzle of caramel sauce, whipped cream, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
