So I have had this idea in my head, for a few weeks, to try and make pumpkin egg rolls. The only problem was that my local Kroger’s was out of canned pumpkin puree.
I heard there was a shortage of pumpkins this year but I never thought I would have a problem finding it at the store. I bought two baking pumpkins from my local farmer but I never got around to cooking them. They are now on the front porch. By the time I was ready to try my hand at the egg rolls Kroger’s had replenished their stock. I think people were hording the pumpkin puree. Come on people it is just pumpkin. Not like it’s bacon. Now if there was a pig shortage. I would be freezing me some bacon. But I digress. Back to my pumpkin egg rolls. So when I found the pumpkin puree I also noticed that Oreo had a new special addition flavor “Pumpkin Pie Spice”. I knew I had to figure out how to incorporate these Oreo’s into my Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecake Egg Rolls.
So I thought I would make a pumpkin pie filling with crushed Oreo’s to add flavor and to thickening the pumpkin pie filling. These Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecake Egg Rolls are very easy to make using 6-8 Pumpkin Spiced Oreo’s, a can of pumpkin puree, block of low fat cream cheese, package of egg roll wrappers and lots of pumpkin spice.
Method:
In a food processor pulse the Oreo’s until very fine. Add the pumpkin puree, an egg, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice and process for about 1 minute until smooth. You may need to scrap down the sides. The Oreo’s add a little thickness to the pumpkin pie mixture. Set this aside while you blend up the cream cheese mixture by placing the cream cheese, lemon juice, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth. Place both mixtures in to the wrappers and seal tight. Bake in a 425° pre-heated oven. In the last five minutes of cooking sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve with whipped cream and a little more pumpkin spice. Yum!
I baked my Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecake Egg Rolls instead of frying. I am sure they would be crispier deep fried, but to me it is not worth the extra fat or messy clean up. Up to you. Also make sure you seal the egg roll wrapper thoroughly otherwise some of the pumpkin cream cheese mix could ooze out. If it does no big deal. They still taste great just not good if you are taking pics for a blog.

Pumpkin and oreos – why not! I have never tried any of the flavored oreos such as pumpkin spice (love the traditional ones) but I am sure they are just delicious in these egg rolls. Great idea and thanks for coming to Fiesta Friday #91 🙂
Quinn Caudill says
Yeah I am a fan of the original too, but these were pretty awesome. Have a great weekend and Happy FF!
Jhuls says
These looks amazing, Quinn. Have a fab weekend and happy FF! 🙂
Quinn Caudill says
Thanks Jhuls. Have a great weekend and Happy FF!
Dini @ The Flavor Bender says
I need to try the other oreo flavours! It’s the one thing I’m too afraid to try out because I love the original too much 🙂 Love the egg roll idea!
Quinn Caudill says
Hi Dini.. Thanks for stopping by. I have tried most of the special addition flavors and they are pretty good. Have a great weekend and Happy FF!

Now this is creative! I heard that it was so wet this year that there might be a pumpkin shortage. So, everyone has rushed the supermarkets, and a simple can will probably cost a small fortune. Now I agree with the bacon theory. I will raise the little guys in my own back yard if there is a shortage. Life is better with bacon! Happy FF!
Quinn Caudill says
Oh yeah. Smoked a 4 pound pork belly yesterday. Just like bacon but better and homemade. I could see you raising some little piglets. :))) Have a great weekend and Happy FF!
Julie is Hostess At Heart says
Pork Belly? OMG would love a few bites of that. My neighbor is a K9 police officer and I think his dogs would scare my piggies right out of the yard! 🙂
Quinn Caudill says
Poor piggies. But not a bad
Quinn Caudill says
Not a bad deal having a K9 officer near by
Julie is Hostess At Heart says
They are a nice family. We are lucky to have some nice neighbors.
Kaila says
What a yummy flavor combination! I love how you decided to use oreos in this dish! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! 😀
illcookyouwash says
This is so cool! I love that you used the Pumpkin Spice Oreos…I keep seeing it but haven’t tried it as yet because I’m generally not a fan of oreos by themselves (although I love it in almost every other form). This looks so great, and totally evokes a homey, fall vibe. Thanks for sharing it at FF!
Quinn Caudill says
I bet they would be awesome made into a Oreo Truffle. Happy FF!
Ginger says
They look amazing – and the flavours! Delicious! I didn’t know there was a pumpkin shortage, at least not here in the UK. 🙂
Quinn Caudill says
Thanks Ginger. Either real or hyped there was a run on pumpkin in the stores. Amazing!!
Carlee says
What a fun and fabulous idea! My family would absolutely love these and I love how original they are!
Quinn Caudill says
Thanks Carlee. They tasted much better than they looked. The orange and orange with the bright white didn’t turn out that well. Still learning the tricks of good food photography. My wife doesn’t worry about the pics just the taste. :))
