Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This recipe takes classic cheesecake and gives it a playful twist. Cherry cheesecake egg rolls are easy to make ahead, fry in under ten minutes, and can be enjoyed warm or cold. Whether you are entertaining guests or treating your family, they offer the wow factor of a restaurant-style dessert with the simplicity of home cooking.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serve these egg rolls warm for the best texture and flavor. Right after frying, let them cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired. You can also serve them with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy. Freezing is not recommended, as the cream cheese filling can change texture. To prep ahead, you can roll and refrigerate them up to one day before frying.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup cherry pie filling
• 10 egg roll wrappers
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Extra powdered sugar for dusting

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Hand mixer or whisk
• Small spoon or spatula
• Frying pan or deep fryer
• Tongs
• Paper towels
• Wire rack
• Small bowl of water for sealing egg rolls

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. This is your classic cheesecake flavor base, and you want it smooth enough to tuck easily into the wrappers.
2. Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you so it looks like a diamond.
3. Step 3: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture in the center of the wrapper and gently spread it into a small rectangle. Keeping it spread evenly helps prevent bursting when frying.
4. Step 4: Top the cream cheese with about 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling. You can go heavier or lighter depending on how fruity you like it.
5. Step 5: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it carefully so the filling stays inside.
6. Step 6: Fold in the left and right corners toward the center like you would a burrito, making sure the edges are snug against the filling.
7. Step 7: Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner, and dab a bit of water with your finger on the final edge to seal closed. A tight seal will prevent leaks during frying.
8. Step 8: Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. This is a fun step to do with kids—it is like dessert origami.
9. Step 9: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a thermometer for accuracy—too cool and they get greasy, too hot and they brown too fast.
10. Step 10: Fry the egg rolls 2 to 3 at a time, turning as needed to ensure all sides become golden and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
11. Step 11: Remove them with tongs and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Avoid stacking them to keep that crispy texture.
12. Step 12: Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and serve right away for maximum crunch and creaminess inside.

Nutrition per serving

You can mix up your filling every time. Try adding a little lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for brightness, or switch things up with blueberry or apple pie filling. These egg rolls taste fantastic fresh but are also a sweet surprise chilled the next day.
