- 3 large eggs (for the cake mix)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for the cake mix)
- 1 cup water (for the cake mix)
- 1 package (14 oz) egg roll wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake according to package instructions with eggs, oil, and water. Let it cool completely and crumble it into fine pieces.

- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Add 2 tablespoons of red velvet cake crumbs and 1 tablespoon of cheesecake mixture to the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For added texture, mix in crushed Oreos, mini chocolate chips, or white chocolate chunks with the cheesecake filling.
- For a lighter version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
- Top with melted white chocolate or cream cheese glaze for extra flair.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
