Ingredients
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
⅓ cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup cherry pie filling
-
12 egg roll wrappers
-
Vegetable oil for frying or spray oil for baking
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
-
Lay one egg roll wrapper flat, with a corner facing you.
-
Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture in the center, then top with 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling.
-
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, sealing the edge with water.
-
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
-
To Fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls 2–3 at a time until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
-
To Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
-
Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
-
Seal the edges well with water to prevent leaks during cooking.
-
Don’t overfill—just a little filling goes a long way!
-
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
-
These are best enjoyed warm, but leftovers can be crisped up in the oven or air fryer!
