Step 2: Assemble the Cheesecake Wraps
-
Lay out a wrapper like a diamond. Place one frozen cheesecake scoop in the center.
-
Brush the edges with beaten egg. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to seal like an egg roll.
-
Repeat until all cheesecake is wrapped.
Step 3: Deep Fry the Cheesecake
-
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
-
Fry 2–3 cheesecake rolls at a time for 2–3 minutes or until golden and crispy.
-
Drain on paper towels and cool slightly.
Step 4: Serve & Garnish
-
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with extra strawberry sauce. Serve warm and crispy!
Tips for Success
-
Freeze the filling completely so it doesn’t melt too quickly during frying.
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan — fry in small batches for even crispiness.
-
Use a thermometer to keep oil temp consistent (350°F is ideal).
-
Let cool slightly before eating — the filling stays hot!
Variations
-
Swap strawberry for raspberry, blueberry, or Nutella for fun flavor twists.
-
Use graham cracker crumbs inside the filling for cheesecake crust vibes.
-
Roll in cinnamon sugar for churro-style cheesecake bites.
Storage & Reheating
-
Best served fresh!
-
If needed, reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes to re-crisp.
-
Do not freeze after frying.
What to Serve With

A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream

FAQs
Q: Can I air fry these instead of deep fry?
Yes! Spray with oil and air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway. They won’t be quite as crisp but still delicious.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble them ahead and keep frozen until ready to fry. Fry straight from frozen — no need to thaw.
Q: Can I use premade cheesecake?
Absolutely! Cut premade cheesecake into small cubes and freeze, then wrap and fry as directed.
