Ingredients
For the Egg Rolls
- 12 pieces Egg roll wrappers Spring roll wrappers can be used for a thinner, crispier option.
- 8 oz Cream cheese Whipped cream cheese can be used for a lighter option.
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar Honey or maple syrup can be substituted for a healthier version.
- 2 cups Cherries, pitted and chopped Fresh, frozen, or canned cherries work well.
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract Enhances the flavor of the filling.
Instructions
Preparation
- Pit and chop fresh cherries. If using frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained.
- In a small bowl, mix the cherries with a touch of sugar and vanilla extract, allowing them to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Making the Cheesecake Filling
- In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the cherry mixture to create the filling.
Assembling the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on your work surface.
- Place a tablespoon of filling in the center, fold the corners in, and roll tightly to seal. Use water to help stick the ends if needed.
Air Frying
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray.
- Arrange the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through.
Serving
- Allow them to cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
These egg rolls are best served with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a side of vanilla ice cream. They can also be paired with fresh fruit or a berry compote for a lighter option. Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer.
