Ingredients
Scale
Classic Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Other Ingredients
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- Cooking spray or melted butter, for brushing
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky filling.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper, then top with 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling.
- Fold and seal: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly and roll tightly upwards until sealed. Use a little water on the top corner edge to help seal the wrapper to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Prepare for air frying: Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wrappers. Once all are prepared, lightly spray or brush each egg roll with cooking spray or melted butter to promote browning and crispiness.
- Air fry: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even golden-brown and crispy texture on all sides.
- Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly to avoid burning. Dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet touch before serving warm. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute the cherry pie filling with blueberry, strawberry, or apple pie filling for a variety of delicious flavors.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve these egg rolls with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Ensure the egg rolls are well sealed to prevent filling leakage during air frying.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on air fryer model; adjust accordingly to achieve a golden, crispy finish.
