Ingredients List
For the Air Fryer Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Water or egg wash for sealing
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling, making sure the cherries are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond). Place about 2 tablespoons of the cherry cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the edge with water or an egg wash to ensure it stays closed.
- Air Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Additional Tips and Notes
- Serving Ideas: For an extra touch of indulgence, serve your Air Fryer Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls with a side of chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping. You can also dust them with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar right after they come out of the air fryer for added sweetness and visual appeal.
- Customizing the Filling: Feel free to get creative with the cheesecake filling. Adding a little lemon zest or a splash of almond extract can give the filling a unique twist. You can also mix in different fruits or even a bit of jam for added flavor.
- Handling the Wrappers: Keep the egg roll wrappers covered with a damp cloth while assembling the egg rolls to prevent them from drying out and becoming difficult to work with.
