Ingredients
For the filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the egg rolls:
10 egg roll wrappers
1 cup cherry pie filling
For sealing:
1 egg, beaten (or water)
For air frying:
Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter
Optional garnishes:
Powdered sugar
Chocolate drizzle
Instructions
Prepare the cheesecake filling:
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Assemble the egg rolls:
Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner facing you (diamond orientation).
Spread 1–2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper.
Add 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly.
Roll it up and seal the edge with the beaten egg or water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Preheat the air fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Cook the egg rolls:
Lightly spray or brush the egg rolls with cooking spray or melted butter.
Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
Serve:
Let the egg rolls cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with chocolate. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
Avoid overfilling the wrappers to prevent them from bursting during cooking.
Use parchment paper liners to make cleanup easier.
For extra crunch, double-roll the egg rolls using two wrappers.
Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to keep the filling intact.
Variations
Berry Blend: Substitute cherry pie filling with a mix of berries like blueberries or raspberries.
Chocolate Lovers: Add mini chocolate chips to the cheesecake filling.
Savory-Sweet: Sprinkle crushed nuts or graham cracker crumbs on the filling before rolling.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers.
How to Store
Refrigerator: Store leftover cooked egg rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes.
Freezer: Freeze uncooked egg rolls in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
Cook directly from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the cook time.
Conclusion
Air fryer cherry cheesecake egg rolls are the ultimate sweet treat that’s crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
Whether you’re entertaining guests or treating yourself, these egg rolls are a guaranteed hit.
