Instructions

Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold in cherry pie filling, keeping some chunks intact for texture.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat in a diamond shape (corner pointing toward you).
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Brush the top edge with beaten egg and roll tightly to seal.
Air Fry to Perfection:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or melted butter.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
Garnish & Serve:
- Let cool for 2 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
- Serve with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or caramel sauce.

Notes

Seal Edges Well: Use egg wash to prevent the filling from leaking out.
Don’t Overfill: Too much filling may cause the egg rolls to burst open.
Work Quickly with Wrappers: Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to maintain crispiness.
