Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

 

Ingredients:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon lemon zest

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

½ teaspoon lemon juice

1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

8 egg roll wrappers

Oil for frying

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions:

Prepare the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, lemon zest, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Egg Rolls:

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Fry the Egg Rolls:

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve:

Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
