Ingredients
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries, pitted and chopped)
Wraps & Cooking
- 10 pieces egg roll wrappers
- As needed cooking spray or melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preparation: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add Cherry Filling: Gently fold the cherry pie filling into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cherry cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Roll and Seal: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it tightly. Seal the edge with a little water to ensure it stays closed during cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for even cooking.
- Prepare Egg Rolls for Frying: Lightly spray or brush the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray or melted butter to help them crisp beautifully.
- Air Fry: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool: Carefully remove the cooked egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve: Serve the warm cherry cheesecake egg rolls with an optional dusting of powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
- Do not overfill the egg rolls to prevent bursting during cooking.
- If you don’t have cherry pie filling, fresh cherries that are pitted and chopped work wonderfully.
- For an even crispier exterior, brush the egg rolls with melted butter instead of cooking spray.
- Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from hot filling.
