Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cherry pie filling (or more, to taste)
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling. Be careful not to overmix, or the filling may become runny. - Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cherry cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly towards the opposite corner. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. - Fry the Egg Rolls:
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Carefully place 2-3 egg rolls at a time in the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the egg rolls and drain excess oil on paper towels. - Garnish and Serve:
Dust the warm egg rolls with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- You can use other pie fillings like blueberry, apple, or strawberry.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the egg rolls instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), brush with melted butter or cooking spray, and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Air fryer option: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or raspberry sauce for added flavor.
