Ingredients Overview for Air Fryer Oreo Egg Rolls
Here’s what you’ll need to create these tasty treats. I promise each ingredient plays a special role, and many have simple swaps if you need them!
- Oreos: The star of the show! Use regular or double-stuffed for an extra creamy filling.
- Cream Cheese: Adds a rich, smooth texture to the filling. You can substitute with mascarpone for a lighter taste.
- Egg Roll Wrappers: These are what hold everything together. Look for them in your local grocery store or try spring roll wrappers if you can’t find them.
- Butter: A little brushing on the outside helps achieve that gorgeous golden color. Any light oil can work as a swap.
- Powdered Sugar: For dusting. It not only adds sweetness but makes them look fancy too!
Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Oreo Egg Rolls
-
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, crush your Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix them with softened cream cheese until smooth. This is where the magic starts!
-
Assemble the Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the Oreo mixture to the center. Fold up the bottom corner, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
-
Brush with Butter: Lightly brush the outside of each roll with melted butter. This step is essential for that lovely crunch!
-
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat it for about 3 minutes.
-
Air Fry the Rolls: Place the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
-
Dust with Sugar: Once done, remove them carefully, allow them to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These Air Fryer Oreo Egg Rolls are fantastic on their own, but if you want to take it up a notch, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. You could also whip up some whipped cream for dipping. They are truly versatile and perfect for any sweet loving occasion!
Tips for the Perfect Air Fryer Oreo Egg Rolls
- Don’t Overfill: Keep the filling modest so you can seal the rolls properly without any filling spilling out during cooking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Have fun and try different cookies, like chocolate chip or graham crackers for unique variations.
- Keep an Eye on Cooking Time: Every air fryer is slightly different, so watch them closely for that ideal golden perfection.
- Serve Fresh: These are best served warm. You can reheat them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes if needed.
Q&A Section
Q: Can I freeze these?
A: Yes! You can freeze unbaked rolls for up to a month. Just pop them in the air fryer without thawing when you’re ready to enjoy.
Q: What can I use instead of cream cheese?

A: If you use gluten-free egg roll wrappers, these can definitely be a gluten-free treat!
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
