If you’re looking for a unique dessert that is both fresh and fun, you have to try these Blackberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls. Tart blackberries and creamy cheesecake in a crispy egg roll wrapper, you can’t go wrong!

I haven’t seen a lot of new recipes that center around this tart wild berry, so I thought it was time to bring blackberries back to the stage.

My entire family loves berries and now that blackberries seem to be available almost any time of year, we can make this sweet dessert whenever we want to. No need to wait for special occasions for this one!

Recipe Notes:

  • You can use vegetable oil or canola oil for frying your egg rolls. 
  • You have the option of using a small skillet or a large skillet. A larger frying pan will require a little bit more oil for the frying process. 
  • Be careful not to overfill your egg rolls or the cream cheese filling will leak out. 
  • These go great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce if you want to serve them alongside something.

How To Store Leftover Blackberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

What Egg Roll Wrappers Should I Use?

You will want to use pre-made egg roll wrappers for this great recipe. Because they are so commonly used now, you don’t have to visit an Asian market to get them. They should be right in the produce section at your local grocery store. 

I use Nasoya egg roll wraps. I’ve found them super easy to work with and they give me the best results in both folding each Nasoya wrap and frying. 

Be careful that you are choosing eggroll wrappers and not wonton wrappers or spring roll wrappers. While wonton wrappers are made from similar ingredients, they are much smaller.

Spring roll wrappers, which are translucent and stretchy, will not give you what you’re looking for from a traditional egg roll wrapper. 

Can I Make These In An Air Fryer? 

Yes! Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray. Place your egg rolls into the basket in a single layer. Spray the tops of the egg rolls to encourage them to crisp. 

Fry them at 360 degrees for 5 minutes. Open the air fryer and flip all of your egg rolls. Spray this side with more cooking spray and air fry them for another 4 or 5 minutes.

Can I Add Different Berries To These Egg Rolls? 

Yes! I love the way these tart berries taste in this delicious dessert, but if they are out of season or you want to try another type of berry, there are a few options.

You could use sliced fresh strawberries to make strawberry cheesecake egg rolls, fresh raspberries for raspberry cheesecake egg rolls, or fresh blueberries for blueberry cheesecake egg rolls. 

If you don’t have access to fresh berries at all, you could opt for two teaspoons of blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry rhubarb pie filling, or go for cherry pie filling to make some cherry cheesecake egg rolls.
