Description
Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls combine the creamy richness of cheesecake with the fruity burst of cherries, all wrapped in a crispy golden shell for a unique and delicious dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries, pitted and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2–3 cups oil for frying
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the cherry pie filling (or cherry mixture with lemon juice and cornstarch) into the cream cheese mixture. Do not overmix.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Add about 2 tablespoons of the filling just below center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the edge with water. Repeat for all wrappers.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Transfer fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use dairy-free cream cheese and gluten-free wrappers for dietary adjustments.
- Try different fruits like blueberries or strawberries for variation.
- Serve with chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
- To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes for best crispiness.
- Freeze uncooked egg rolls for up to 3 months and fry directly from frozen when ready.
