Pecan Pie Egg Rolls – instead of traditional pecan pie, turn it into something fun.  Gooey pecan pie filling inside of a crispy egg roll and topped with whipped cream!

What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert? I think the most popular are pumpkin pie and pecan pie. We have pumpkin pie every year at my house. My uncle’s favorite is pecan pie, so every once in awhile it would make an appearance at our house.

This year I am mixing things up though, and I might just skip pie all together! Thinking Pumpkin Dump Cake so we have the pumpkin side covered. And then Pecan Pie Egg Rolls instead of the traditional pie. Sounds like a good day, right?

Or you could go the mini dessert route with Mini Pecan Pie Bites. Mini desserts are just more fun! Or Pecan Pie Cheesecake is another twist that is a definite favorite.

What You’ll Need

  • Corn Syrup
  • Brown Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Pecans
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Eggroll Wrappers
  • Vegetable Oil – to fry the eggrolls in
  • Water
  • Whipped CreamHomemade Whipped Cream makes for a delicious topping!

Usually when you make pecan pie, you mix all the filling ingredients together, and it bakes in the oven and sets up that way. To make these egg rolls, I cooked everything on the stove top to let it boil and thicken that way. Then I let it cool completely, so I could fill the egg rolls easily and not have it melt the wrappers. Then deep fry until crispy, golden and perfect!

Recipe Tips

  • These are best served warm. But if you want to make them ahead you can reheat in the oven to re-crisp and warm them up.
  • Let the filling cool before filling. Super hot filling will cause the wrappers to fall apart, so make sure it is cool enough to handle before filling.
  • You can use any neutral flavored oil to fry your egg rolls in. To test that it is hot enough you can use a thermometer.
  • Make sure to drain the eggrolls on a wire rack to get rid of any extra grease.
  • To decorate you can dust with powdered sugar when they are still hot.

Can I Use An Air Fryer

Yes, you absolutely can cook these in the air fryer. They will be a little different, the texture isn’t exactly the same. But they are still delicious! Brush 4-5 egg rolls (however many can fit in a single layer in your air fryer) with vegetable oil. Arrange in air fryer and cook at 390º for 6 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until crispy.

So if you are looking for a fun twist on classic desserts this year, you have to try these pecan pie egg rolls – everyone will be surprised and impressed!
