Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 egg rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cherry pie filling

For Wrapping and Frying

  • 8–10 egg roll wrappers
  • Cooking oil (vegetable or canola), for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Soften the cream cheese in a bowl, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This mixture will serve as the luscious cheesecake center for your egg rolls.
  2. Lay Out the Egg Roll Wrappers: Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointed toward you, forming a diamond shape. This positioning makes rolling easier and helps keep the filling inside.
  3. Add the Filling: Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper, then add a spoonful of cherry pie filling on top. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leaks during frying.
  4. Roll and Seal: Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, tuck in the sides snugly, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with a bit of water to keep it closed during frying.
  5. Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve Warm: Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect mix of crispy exterior and warm, creamy filling.

Notes

  • Chill the cream cheese mixture for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle and reduce filling leakage.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
  • Use water or egg wash on wrapper edges to seal tightly.
  • Maintain oil temperature at approximately 350°F for optimal crispiness without greasiness.
  • Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels to absorb excess oil and keep them crunchy.
