Ingredients
→ Filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp lemon juice (optional)
Pinch of salt
1–1½ cups cherry pie filling
→ For Assembly
10–12 egg roll wrappers
Water (for sealing edges)
Oil for frying
→ Optional Coating
½ cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
→ Cream Cheese Glaze (Optional)
2 oz cream cheese
¼ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice (if using), and salt until smooth.
Lay out an egg roll wrapper. Spoon about 1½ tablespoons of cheesecake mixture and 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center.
Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edges with water. Repeat for all wrappers.
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry each egg roll for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Optional: While warm, toss egg rolls in cinnamon sugar or dust with powdered sugar.
For Glaze: Whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled egg rolls before serving.
Notes
For a fruity variation, try blueberry, apple, or strawberry pie filling.
These can be made ahead and fried just before serving.
Use an air fryer for a lighter version (spray with oil and air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway).
Let cool slightly before biting in—filling will be hot!
