Ingredients

• 8 egg roll wrappers

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• Optional: additional powdered sugar for dusting

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

2. Lay the egg roll wrappers flat on a clean surface. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each wrapper.

3. Top the cream cheese with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

4. Brush the edges of the egg roll wrappers with a little egg wash (beaten egg), then fold in the sides and roll them up tightly to seal.

5. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

6. Lightly brush each egg roll with melted butter for extra crispiness.

7. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between them. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

8. Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.

FAQs

Can I use a different kind of fruit filling?

Yes! Feel free to swap the cherry pie filling for any fruit filling of your choice, such as blueberry, raspberry, or apple.

Do I have to use an air fryer?

While the air fryer gives these egg rolls the perfect crispy texture, you can also bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the egg rolls in advance, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate them for up to a day. When ready to cook, just brush with butter and air fry as directed.

How do I seal the egg rolls properly?

Make sure to brush the edges of the wrapper with a little beaten egg or water to help seal the egg rolls. This will prevent the filling from spilling out while cooking.

Can I freeze these egg rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the unbaked egg rolls. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer, freeze for 1-2 hours, and then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, air fry directly from frozen at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

Yes, you can use low-fat cream cheese as a substitute. It may slightly affect the creaminess of the filling but will still work well.

Are these egg rolls gluten-free?

No, regular egg roll wrappers contain gluten. You can try using gluten-free egg roll wrappers if you need a gluten-free option.

How can I prevent the egg rolls from being soggy?

Ensure you brush the egg rolls with enough butter or oil before air frying to help them crisp up nicely. Avoid overloading the air fryer basket, allowing enough space for air circulation.

Can I make these without an egg wash?

Yes, you can skip the egg wash, but the egg helps the wrappers crisp up and achieve a golden brown color. You can brush them with a little butter as an alternative.

What can I serve these egg rolls with?

These egg rolls are perfect on their own, but you can serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra sweet treat.
