Ingredients

Scale

Egg Rolls:

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Chocolate syrup for drizzling (optional)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Cream Cheese: Cream cheese forms the base of the cheesecake filling, offering a rich and smooth texture.
  • Cherry Pie Filling: The sweet cherry pie filling adds the perfect topping with a bit of tartness, balancing the sweetness of the cream cheese.
  • Egg Roll Wrappers: These create a crispy, crunchy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds a sweet and aromatic flavor to the cheesecake filling.

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and mix well.
  2. Prepare the Cherry Filling: If using fresh cherries, chop them into small pieces and mix with the lemon juice. If using cherry pie filling, simply stir it to loosen the consistency and set aside.

Assemble the Egg Rolls:

  1. Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond).
  2. Fill the Wrapper: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling into the center of the wrapper. Add a spoonful of cherry filling on top of the cream cheese.
  3. Roll the Egg Rolls: Carefully fold the sides of the wrapper inwards and roll tightly, ensuring the filling is secure inside. Seal the edges with a little water to keep the wrapper from opening during frying.
  4. Repeat the Process: Continue assembling the remaining egg rolls, placing them on a clean plate as you go.

Fry the Egg Rolls:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
  2. Fry the Egg Rolls: Gently place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  3. Drain the Egg Rolls: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
