Ingredients:
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cherry pie filling
For the Egg Rolls:
8 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)
Cooking spray or vegetable oil, for air frying
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions:
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each egg roll wrapper. Top it off with 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling.
Wrap the Egg Rolls:
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner of the wrapper with the beaten egg to seal.
Air Fry the Egg Rolls:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or brush with a bit of vegetable oil. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Cool and Serve:
Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Serving Tips:
Serve Fresh and Warm:
These crispy cherry cheesecake egg rolls are best served warm, straight out of the air fryer. The combination of the crispy wrapper and creamy cheesecake filling is at its peak when fresh.
Dust with Powdered Sugar:
For an elegant finishing touch, lightly dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar right before serving. This adds a sweet visual appeal and an extra layer of sweetness.
Pair with Whipped Cream or Ice Cream:
Serve these egg rolls with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience. The cold creaminess pairs perfectly with the warm, crispy texture.
Dip in Chocolate or Caramel Sauce:
Take these treats up a notch by serving them with a side of chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping. It’s an extra indulgence that makes the dessert feel even more special.
Storage Tips:
Refrigerating Leftovers:
If you have leftover egg rolls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last up to 3 days. To prevent sogginess, let them cool completely before refrigerating.
Reheating:
To maintain their crispy texture, reheat the egg rolls in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until they’re warm and crisp again. Avoid microwaving, as this will make them soggy.
Freezing for Later:
To freeze, place uncooked egg rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, air fry them directly from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Avoid Stacking:
When storing in the fridge or freezer, try to avoid stacking the egg rolls on top of each other, as this can cause them to lose their crispiness. Use parchment paper between layers if necessary.

FAQs:
Can I use a different fruit filling instead of cherry?
Absolutely! You can easily swap out the cherry pie filling for other fruit fillings like blueberry, strawberry, apple, or even a combination of fruits. You can also experiment with non-fruit fillings such as Nutella or chocolate for a richer dessert twist.
Can I bake these egg rolls instead of using an air fryer?
Yes, you can bake them if you don’t have an air fryer. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
How do I keep the egg rolls from getting soggy when storing?
To prevent sogginess, let the egg rolls cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When reheating, use the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore their crispy texture. Avoid microwaving, as this will make the wrapper soft.
Can I freeze these egg rolls for later?
Yes, you can freeze uncooked egg rolls. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. When ready to enjoy, air fry them from frozen for 12-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C), flipping halfway through.
