Description
Delicious crispy cherry cheesecake egg rolls filled with a creamy mixture and cherry pie filling, perfect for dessert.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Variable vegetable oil, for frying
- Variable powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture across the center of the wrapper. Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it tightly away from you, sealing the top corner with a dab of water.
-
Heat Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
-
Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, seam side down. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to achieve a smooth mixture.
- Avoid overfilling the egg rolls to prevent leakage during frying.
- Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature for even frying.
- These egg rolls can be a great dessert served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- For a lighter version, consider baking the egg rolls in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
