Peach Cheesecake Rolls Cinnamon

These peach cheesecake rolls are pure dessert magic. I wanted a treat that merged my childhood love for Southern peach cobbler with my obsession for creamy cheesecake. Wrapping it all in a crispy egg roll shell creates an unforgettable combo that gets rave reviews every time I bring these out—especially fresh from the fryer tossed in cinnamon sugar.

I remember making these for a summer barbecue and they disappeared long before the main course hit the table. The combination of warm peaches and tangy cheesecake got everyone talking.

Ingredients

• Peaches: diced fresh peaches bring juicy sweetness and a sunny color to every bite If using canned choose ones packed in juice for the best flavor
• Butter: unsalted butter adds richness and helps caramelize the fruit For an even more golden flavor use a European-style butter if you can find it
• Brown sugar: deepens the peach filling with a molasses note Opt for fresh soft brown sugar for best results
• Cinnamon: this classic spice brings warmth and a hint of nostalgia Always choose true cinnamon not imitation for the best aroma
• Vanilla extract: enhances both the filling and the cheesecake use pure vanilla for richer depth
• Cornstarch: helps thicken the peach mixture so it stays put inside the wrapper Only use if peaches are especially juicy
• Cream cheese: the base of the cheesecake filling Full-fat works best for the creamiest texture Choose a brick-style for thick results
• Powdered sugar: sweetens the cheesecake without any grit Sift before using for an ultra-smooth finish
• Egg roll wrappers: these create a shatteringly crisp shell Look for fresh ones in the refrigerated section—they are more pliable
• Vegetable oil: for frying Use a neutral high-heat oil like canola or peanut oil Check freshness for clean taste
• Cinnamon sugar: coats each roll for crunch and aroma Always mix fresh just before using to prevent clumping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Peach Filling:

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat Add the diced peaches brown sugar cinnamon and vanilla Stir constantly as the mixture cooks for about 5 to 7 minutes The peaches should soften but not turn to mush keeping some texture is best

Thicken the Filling:

If your peach mixture is extra juicy dissolve the cornstarch in the water and stir it in Cook for one to two minutes more until the filling is glossy and thick Remove from heat and let it cool completely This will keep the filling from leaking out later

Prepare the Cheesecake:

In a mixing bowl beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla Use an electric mixer for extra-smooth filling Mix until no lumps remain and the texture is velvety

Assemble the Rolls:

Take an egg roll wrapper and lay it out in a diamond shape Spoon about one tablespoon of cheesecake filling and one tablespoon of peach filling onto the center Fold up the bottom corner over the filling fold in both sides and finally roll tightly upward Wet the final edge lightly with water to seal Repeat for all rolls

Fry the Rolls:

Heat your oil in a large pot to 350 degrees Fahrenheit Use a thermometer to make sure it stays steady Carefully lower a few rolls at a time into the hot oil Do not crowd them Fry for about two to three minutes flipping if needed until all sides are golden and crisp Drain on paper towels

Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:

While still hot roll the fried egg rolls in your cinnamon sugar mixture This step locks in aroma and adds sparkle

Save

Cheesecake is my weakness so I love sneaking extra spoonfuls before rolling Sometimes my family will gather in the kitchen just to taste-test the peach filling while it cools off

Storage Tips

Store extra rolls in the refrigerator for up to three days Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to bring back the crunch Freezing is possible before frying just thaw a bit before cooking for best texture

Ingredient Substitutions

If peaches are out of season canned peaches work beautifully Just drain well before using Swap in apricots or plums for a different fruit spin Dairy-free cream cheese can be used for a vegan version with equally delicious results

Serving Suggestions

Pile these on a platter with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence At family gatherings I serve them with sweet tea for the perfect Southern touch
