This recipe takes a unique spin on traditional dessert rolls by incorporating fresh lemon undertones and cherry pie filling into a fried, golden-brown package.

Ingredients
- 4 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
- 1 can of cherry pie filling
- 8 egg roll wrappers (approximately 6″x6″ each)
- Oil for frying
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
Combine the softened cream cheese, lemon zest, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and well integrated. Transfer the mix into a Ziploc bag, snipping off one corner to create a makeshift piping bag.
Step 2: Assembly of Rolls
Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, positioning them so that one of the corners points towards you. Pipe a straight line of the cream cheese mixture across each wrapper, then place about ten cherries from the cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese line.
Step 3: Seal the Rolls
Moisten the edges of each egg roll wrapper with water. Roll them up tightly, ensuring the edges are well sealed to prevent leaking during frying. Allow the rolls to sit for 3-4 minutes, which helps the water create a firm seal.
Step 4: Frying
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry the rolls in small batches, ensuring they turn brown and crisp evenly, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Servings & Preparation/Cooking Time
This recipe yields 8 Cherry Cream Cheese Delight Rolls. Preparation time is approximately 15 minutes, and cooking time is around 6 minutes per batch.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, place rolls in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until they are heated through and crispy again. Microwaving is not recommended as it can make the wrappers soggy.
