Ingredients
Scale
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 can (21 oz / 595 g) cherry pie filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- butter-flavored cooking spray
- powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract into a smooth, creamy blend, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Wrapping Technique: Lay egg roll wrapper diagonally, positioning filling just below the center point for optimal sealing.
- Filling Assembly: Spread cream cheese mixture evenly, then layer cherry pie filling directly on top, maintaining a neat, compact arrangement.
- Sealing Process: Fold bottom corner over filling, tuck side edges inward, and roll tightly, using water to secure the final edge and prevent unraveling.
- Repeat Procedure: Continue filling and rolling remaining wrappers with consistent precision.
- Air Fryer Setup: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes, ensuring optimal cooking environment.
- Coating and Positioning: Lightly spray egg rolls with butter-flavored cooking spray, then arrange in air fryer basket with sufficient spacing for even crisping.
- Cooking Cycle: Air fry in batches for 7-8 minutes, rotating midway to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration and crispy texture.
- Cooling and Finishing: Remove egg rolls, allow brief cooling, then optionally dust with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
- Serving: Present immediately while warm and crisp for maximum enjoyment and textural appeal.
Notes
- Wrapper Wisdom: Choose fresh, pliable egg roll wrappers to prevent cracking during rolling and ensure a perfect seal.
- Sealing Secrets: Use water sparingly to glue wrapper edges, preventing soggy or overly wet egg rolls.
- Crispy Coating Trick: Butter-flavored cooking spray helps achieve golden-brown exterior and enhances overall crunchiness.
- Batch Cooking Strategy: Air fry in small batches to maintain consistent temperature and prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
