How to Serve Oreo Egg Rolls
Oreo Egg Rolls are best enjoyed warm and crispy. Here are some fun ways to serve them:
- With a Dipping Sauce: Serve with chocolate sauce, caramel, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Topped with Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream adds extra creaminess.
- As a Party Treat: Arrange them on a platter for a fun dessert table centerpiece.

Additional Tips for Oreo Egg Rolls
Here are some tips to ensure this recipe turn out perfect every time:
- Seal the Wrappers Well: Use the egg wash to firmly seal the edges to prevent them from opening during frying.
- Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make it harder to seal and might cause the egg roll to burst open.
- Fry in Small Batches: Overcrowding the pan can lower the oil temperature and make the egg rolls greasy.
- Use a Thermometer: Ensure the oil is around 350°F (175°C) to get that perfect crispy texture.
- Try Baking or Air Frying: For a lighter option, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes or air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 8-10 minutes.
- Experiment with Fillings: Add peanut butter, Nutella, or even marshmallow fluff for different flavors.
- Use Double-Stuffed Oreos: For an even creamier filling, use double-stuffed Oreos.
