How to Make Easy Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto the wrapper, followed by a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
Roll the Egg Rolls: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly towards the top corner, sealing the edge with a little beaten egg to keep it closed.
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Use tongs to turn them for even cooking.
Drain and Cool: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve and Enjoy: Your Easy Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls are ready to be enjoyed! Serve warm with extra cherry filling on the side if desired.

Tips For Easy Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Fry in batches to avoid cooling the oil and ensure even cooking.

Substitutions and Variations

Different Fruit Fillings: You can substitute cherry pie filling with strawberry, blueberry, or any fruit pie filling of your choice.
Baked Option: For a healthier version, brush the egg rolls with a little oil and bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Make a Healthier Version

Use reduced-fat cream cheese and skip the frying for baked egg rolls instead.
