Description
Deliciously unique dessert featuring creamy cheesecake and cherry filling wrapped in crispy egg rolls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Cooking spray or light oil
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth and fluffy. This is the heart of the dessert—creamy, tangy, and lightly sweet.
- Prepare your wrappers: Lay out your egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling into the center of each one. Top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
- Roll them up: Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll tightly from the bottom like a burrito. Use a bit of the beaten egg to seal the edges so nothing leaks out during cooking.
- Air fry to golden perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and place them in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Serve and enjoy: Let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm for maximum creamy-melty goodness.
Notes
- For a sweeter touch, consider adding more powdered sugar to the cheesecake filling.
- Pair these egg rolls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
