Air Fryer Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls
If you’re craving a dessert that’s quick, easy, and packed with flavor, these Air Fryer Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls are the perfect treat! They combine the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the tartness of cherry pie filling, all wrapped in a crispy egg roll wrapper. Best of all, they’re made in the air fryer for a lighter, quicker version of a traditional fried dessert.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Butter-flavored cooking spray
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This rich mixture will form the base of your delicious egg rolls.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture just below the center of the wrapper. Add 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese.
- Roll and Seal: Fold in the sides of the wrapper, and roll it up tightly to seal in the filling. Use a little water along the edges of the wrapper to help seal the roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling to make a total of 12 egg rolls.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. While waiting, lightly spray the prepared egg rolls with butter-flavored cooking spray to ensure they get that golden, crispy finish.
- Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch each other. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 7-8 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking process, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, allow the egg rolls to cool slightly. For an added touch of sweetness, dust them with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy the egg rolls while warm for the best experience!
