Description
Delicious Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls with a crispy exterior and creamy cheesecake filling, complemented by sweet cherry pie filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one point facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the wrapper and top with about 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg and roll it up tightly to seal.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in batches into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Optionally, preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray the egg rolls with oil and place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Bake for around 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid difficulty in sealing.
- This recipe can be made gluten-free or vegan with appropriate substitutes.
- Experiment with different fruit fillings such as blueberry or apple.
- For best results, maintain the oil temperature while frying.
