Ingredients
Filling
- 24.3 ounces no-bake cheesecake filling (such as Philadelphia)
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Coating
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
Frying
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the egg rolls: Lay out each egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and brush the edges with melted butter to help them seal properly. Spoon a generous amount of no-bake cheesecake filling and cherry pie filling onto the center of each wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly to enclose it, ensuring no filling spills out. For extra security, double wrap each egg roll by using a second wrapper around the first one.
- Heat the oil and fry: In a skillet, heat 1 ½ cups of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they become golden brown and crispy on all sides, which should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Coat the egg rolls: While still hot, immediately toss each fried egg roll in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, coating them thoroughly for a sweet and spiced finish.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the cinnamon-sugar-coated egg rolls. Serve hot for the best taste and texture, enjoying the warm, creamy cherry cheesecake filling inside.
Notes
- Double wrapping the egg rolls ensures that the filling stays securely inside during frying.
- You can use store-bought no-bake cheesecake filling or prepare your own for freshness.
- Use caution when frying to avoid oil splatters and maintain medium heat to prevent burning.
- The egg rolls are best enjoyed immediately after frying to retain their crispiness.
- For a twist, try other fruit pie fillings such as blueberry or apple.
