Ingredients
Scale
Egg Roll Wrappers
- 8 egg roll wrappers
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
Other
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Place a spoonful of the cheesecake mixture in the center, then add a small spoonful of cherry pie filling on top. Fold the sides of the wrapper inward and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to keep the filling secure during cooking.
- Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the egg rolls with melted butter to enhance crispiness. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and dust with powdered sugar and optional cinnamon. Serve warm and savor the crispy exterior paired with the creamy cherry cheesecake filling inside.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is properly softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
- Be careful not to overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Flipping the egg rolls halfway through air frying promotes even browning on all sides.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray in addition to butter.
- Serve immediately after air frying for the best texture and flavor.
