Ingredients
Scale
- Oil suitable for frying
- 4 ounces of cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 can of cherry pie filling
- 8 egg roll wrappers 6×6 size recommended
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a suitable mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or a robust whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and devoid of lumps.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Arrange the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon an appropriate amount of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wrapper.
- Add the Cherry Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling atop the cream cheese mixture on each wrapper.
- Seal the Wrappers: Dampen the edges of each egg roll wrapper with water. Fold and roll the wrapper around the fillings, sealing the edges tightly. Allow the rolls to rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Preheat the frying oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the egg rolls in small batches until uniformly golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on absorbent paper towels. Serve warm with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
