Ingredients
Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Wraps and Frying
- 8 egg roll wrappers (6″x6″)
- Oil (for frying), about 2-3 cups
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, lemon zest, granulated sugar, and fresh lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and fully blended. Transfer this mixture into a Ziploc bag and cut off a small corner to use it as a piping bag.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Pipe a line of the cream cheese mixture across the wrapper near the center. Then, add approximately 10 cherries from the pie filling on top of the cream cheese line.
- Roll and seal: Moisten the edges of the egg roll wrapper with water. Carefully roll up the wrapper tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to completely encase the filling and create a clean seal. Let the rolled egg rolls sit for 3-4 minutes to allow the water seal to set and prevent opening during frying.
- Heat oil and fry: Preheat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in small batches to avoid crowding the pan. Cook each batch for about 5-6 minutes or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm: Enjoy these crispy cherry cheesecake egg rolls warm as a delightful dessert or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute the cherry pie filling with fresh or frozen cherries if preferred.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and to create a smooth filling.
- Make sure to seal the egg rolls tightly and allow time for the edges to dry; this helps prevent them from bursting open during frying.
- Adjust frying time and temperature slightly if using a different oil or fryer to avoid burning.
