Oreo Egg Rolls Ingredients
For the Filling
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – Adds creaminess and sweetness; substitute with evaporated milk for a lighter version.
- Cream Cheese – Provides a rich, creamy filling; use full-fat, softened cream cheese for the best texture.
- Powdered Sugar – Sweetens and helps achieve a smooth filling; try using coconut sugar for a unique flavor.
- Mini Oreos – Essential for flavor; crush into rough pieces for added texture; regular Oreos work in a pinch.
For the Wrappers
- Egg Roll Wrappers – Form the outer layer; ensure they are thawed before use; spring roll wrappers make a tasty alternative.

How to Make Oreo Egg Rolls
-
Beat Together: In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and cream cheese. Use an electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Crush Oreos: Place mini Oreos in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into rough pieces. This adds that delightful crunch you’ll love in every bite!
-
Prepare Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, beat an egg and set it aside. This will help seal your egg rolls perfectly.
-
Assemble: Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on your work surface. Spoon 1½ tablespoons of the cream cheese filling into the center and sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top.
-
Wrap It Up: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then bring in the sides and roll until sealed tight. Use the beaten egg to secure the final edge to prevent any filling from escaping during frying.
-
Fry the Rolls: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying them until golden brown and bubbly, approximately 3-4 minutes each. Drain on paper towels afterwards.
-
Dust and Serve: Finally, dust the warm Oreo Egg Rolls with powdered sugar just before serving for a sweet finishing touch!
Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.

Expert Tips for Oreo Egg Rolls
-
Oil Temperature: Start with hot oil to ensure the egg rolls fry up crispy. If the oil isn’t hot enough, they can become greasy instead of golden and crunchy.
-
Wrapping Technique: Seal the edges tightly to prevent leaking during frying. A little extra beaten egg can help to hold them together securely.
-
Avoid Overcrushing: When crushing Oreos, aim for rough pieces, not dust. This texture adds delightful crunchiness to the filling of your Oreo Egg Rolls.
-
Batch Cooking: Fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature consistent. Overcrowding the pan can lower the temperature and lead to soggy egg rolls.
-
Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in the oven for best results—microwaving can make them soggy.
How to Store and Freeze Oreo Egg Rolls
Fridge: Store leftover Oreo Egg Rolls in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven to restore their crispiness instead of using the microwave.
Freezer: For best results, freeze uncooked wrapped Oreo Egg Rolls before frying. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag for storage.
Reheating: If you’ve frozen the egg rolls, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and fry them directly from that state for a fresh, crispy treat.
Wrapping: Make sure to cover any uncooked egg rolls with plastic wrap while assembling to prevent them from drying out before frying.
Make Ahead Options
These delicious Oreo Egg Rolls are perfect for busy home cooks looking to save time! You can prepare the cream cheese filling and crush the Oreos up to 3 days in advance, storing them separately in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to make the egg rolls, simply fill the wrappers and fry them as needed for a fresh, crispy treat. If you prefer, you can also assemble the egg rolls completely and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before frying; just make sure to cover them well to prevent drying out. When you’re ready to serve, deep fry the rolls until golden brown, and you’ll have a warm, indulgent dessert waiting to impress your guests!

Oreo Egg Rolls Recipe FAQs
How do I choose the right Oreos for the filling?
Absolutely! Mini Oreos work best because they’re easier to crush and blend with the cream cheese filling. However, if you can’t find them, regular Oreos will do just fine. Just crush them into rough pieces for that delightful texture in your Oreo Egg Rolls.
What’s the best way to store leftover Oreo Egg Rolls?
Store any leftover Oreo Egg Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This will help restore their crispy texture, unlike the microwave which may make them soggy.
Can I freeze Oreo Egg Rolls?
Yes! For the best results, freeze the uncooked, wrapped Oreo Egg Rolls before frying them. Simply arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them overnight in the fridge, and fry them straight from there to ensure they remain crispy!
What should I do if the filling is leaking during frying?
This can happen if the edges of the egg rolls aren’t sealed well. Make sure to fold the wrappers tightly and use plenty of egg wash on the edges to secure them. If they are still leaking, consider reducing the amount of filling you use to prevent overflow during frying.
Are Oreo Egg Rolls safe for pets?
It’s best to keep these delicious treats away from pets. Chocolate, a key ingredient in Oreos, can be toxic to dogs and cats. Always ensure that any leftover egg rolls are stored where pets cannot reach them to avoid any health risks.
Can people with allergies enjoy this recipe?
For those with common allergens, like dairy or gluten, modifications can be made. Use dairy-free cream cheese and cookie alternatives like gluten-free Oreos. Always check labels to ensure the ingredients meet dietary restrictions and consult with a health professional if needed.
