Description

Delicious and easy Cheesecake Egg Rolls featuring a creamy sweet filling wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers, air-fried to golden perfection. These delightful treats blend creamy cheesecake and cherry pie filling inside a crunchy shell, perfect for a quick dessert or snack.


Ingredients

Filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ⅛ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ can cherry pie filling (approximately 7 ounces)

Wrapper & Cooking

  • 6 egg roll wrappers
  • Cooking spray or oil for brushing
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Set up wrapper for filling: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to seal the edges later.
  3. Add filling to wrapper: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture towards the top corner of the egg roll wrapper, then add 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top.
  4. Roll and seal the egg roll: Fold the top corner down over the filling, then fold the left and right sides inward. Dab a little water along the bottom edge to help seal, then roll up tightly to enclose the filling completely.
  5. Repeat filling and rolling: Continue this process with remaining wrappers and filling until you have enough egg rolls to fill your air fryer basket, usually about 6.
  6. Preheat air fryer and prepare egg rolls: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray or brush each egg roll with oil to help them crisp up during cooking.
  7. Air fry the egg rolls: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry at 400°F for 7 to 8 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through cooking for even crispness.
  8. Serve: Remove the egg rolls and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings or fresh fruits for variety.
  • Brush the egg rolls lightly with oil instead of spraying if preferred to ensure an even coating.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be deep-fried in oil at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese to make mixing easier and smoother filling consistency.
  • Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly after cooking to avoid burning your mouth from hot filling.
