Ingredients
Scale
Filling:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (250 milliliters) cherry pie filling
Wrapper:
- Egg roll wrappers, quantity as needed
Coating:
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Arrange egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry work surface, positioning them in a diamond shape facing you.
- Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wrapper, leaving sufficient border around the edges for folding.
- Gently place a precise dollop of cherry pie filling directly atop the cream cheese layer.
- Fold the bottom point of the wrapper upward, covering the filling completely, then fold the side corners inward to create a secure envelope-like shape.
- Carefully roll the wrapper tightly from the bottom, using a small amount of water to seal the final edge and prevent unraveling.
- Prepare the air fryer by heating to 375°F (190°C) for approximately 3 minutes before cooking.
- Lightly mist the rolled egg rolls with cooking spray, ensuring even coating and preventing sticking.
- Arrange the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, maintaining space between each roll to ensure crisp circulation.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through to guarantee uniform golden-brown crispiness.
- Remove from air fryer and let rest for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly and maintain structural integrity.
- Optionally enhance by dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with decadent chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
Notes
- Cream Cheese Consistency Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing that blends perfectly.
- Wrapper Handling Use fresh, pliable egg roll wrappers and keep them covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
- Sealing Technique Press edges firmly with water to prevent filling from leaking during air frying, creating a tight seal.
- Diet Modifications Substitute low-fat cream cheese and sugar-free pie filling for a lighter, more diet-friendly version of the dessert.
