Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Assembly
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Finishing
- 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 incorporated.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards 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 inward and roll up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent leaking during cooking.
- Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the egg rolls with melted butter to help them crisp up. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer, then dust them with powdered sugar and cinnamon if desired. Serve warm to enjoy the crispy exterior and creamy cherry cheesecake filling.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling.
- Seal the egg rolls well with water to prevent any filling from leaking during air frying.
- For extra crispiness, brush melted butter on the egg rolls before air frying.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry or strawberry for variation.
