Ingredients
8 egg roll wrappers
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cherry pie filling
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Add 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center, followed by a tablespoon of cherry pie filling.
-
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Brush the top corner with beaten egg and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls and drain on paper towels.
-
Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a fryer or air fryer to maintain crispiness. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes.
For variation, you can substitute the cherry pie filling with blueberry, strawberry, or apple cinnamon pie filling. Or, add lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a tangy twist.
