Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- ½ cup cherry pie filling
- 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 it becomes smooth and creamy. Then, stir in the vanilla extract ensuring the filling is well combined.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place a spoonful of the cheesecake mixture in the center. Add a small spoonful of cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake. Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll it up tightly. Seal the edges with a little water to prevent leakage 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 promote crispiness. Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the egg rolls from the air fryer. Dust them with powdered sugar and cinnamon if desired. Serve warm to enjoy the perfect combination of crispy outside and creamy cherry cheesecake inside.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ease mixing and achieve a smooth filling.
- Sealing the egg roll wrappers with water helps avoid any filling leakage during air frying.
- For extra crispiness, you can spray a little cooking spray alongside brushing melted butter.
- Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model for the best results.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
