Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
Egg Rolls
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For Serving
- 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 well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with a 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 then roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the assembled egg rolls with melted butter to promote crispness. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the cooked egg rolls from the air fryer. Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon if desired. Serve warm for a deliciously crunchy and creamy dessert.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
- Use water to seal the egg roll wrappers securely, preventing leaks while cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
- Optional cinnamon adds a warm spice note—adjust to your preference.
- Serve immediately after air frying for best texture and flavor.
