Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Cherry cheesecake egg rolls are amazing!! Made in your air fryer or deep fried in oil, you just need 3 ingredients to make our dessert egg rolls. So easy with pie filling, cream cheese and marshmallow fluff.

These finger food treats are faster than making our cheesecake in muffin tins recipe but have similar flavors and ingredients. This is no bake so it works better during the hot months though. I will show you below how to wrap each one with your filling and fry them until crispy!!

Now I typically will go as easy as I can which is why I use packaged goods instead of making homemade pie filling but you could go all the way. In that case I do have a post on how to make Homemade Egg Roll Wrappers, but store bought is almost identical.

Ingredient Notes

You will want a package of Egg roll wrappers, you can find them in the refrigerated section in your grocery store. They are larger than the won ton versions which is important so you can fill with more goodness.

You will want one can of cherry pie filling which is different than just canned cherries because this one includes the ooey gooey sauce inside too which you want.

You can find a small tub of marshmallow fluff in the baking section near the cake mixes. With a block of cream cheese (I used low fat cream cheese this time and it was still amazing) you will make the no bake cheesecake filling.

And you will need vegetable oil for frying in a pan on the stove, or deep fryer.

I made pizza egg rolls the other day for dinner and they were so amazing that it was time for dessert!! I couldn’t believe it had taken me so long to try something different with egg roll wrappers. Dusted with powdered sugar to serve and cooked to a golden brown served warm, these are now made on a regular basis

Tips

Tip: Do not overfill them. Just add filling to the middle as you see here. You want room on the ends to fold over so the contents don’t ooze out. For a more detailed instruction on how to roll spring rolls we have this info.

Can you use any pie filling?

Yes!! Those wrappers can be filled with all sorts of ingredients. You could use any can of fruit filling you love, I just had this one on hand but apple and blueberry are to die for too. The cream is optional as well, we didn’t add it at all when making air fryer apple egg rolls.

Use the same can to make other goodies with them too like our strawberry bread pudding, you can use cherry pie filling for this one too! There’s a video in the recipe card below showing you how to make these dessert egg rolls and the entire recipe too:

Ideal Oil Temp for Egg Rolls

In order to ensure you will get them golden brown and crispy on the outside without being mushy you need to make sure your oil is hot enough to begin with. A consistent 360-380 is ideal. If you don’t have a thermometer, just drop a little piece of egg roll in and see if it begins to fry immediately but isn’t too hot where it burns fast.

How long does it take to deep fry egg rolls?

You should put each one in for about 1 minute per side or until they are lightly browned. Timing will vary depending on the temperature of your oil and how brown you want the outside to become of course but 2 minutes total is about right. With smaller wrappers like with our air fryer crab rangoon it is closer to 1-1.5 min.

Other pie filling recipes we love

You can use the rest of it to create a sort of cherry cheesecake dip on the side. Or cherry pie filling dump cake.

• Fruit strudel pastry
• Upside down cherry pie
• Our cherry cheesecake monkey bread is always a hit and uses many of the same ingredients shown here.
• 2 ingredient cherry brownies use the same pie filling and are so easy. Great when you need to bring something sweet to a party because everyone loves them and are super cheap to make.

You can even make peanut butter and jelly egg rolls using this same concept.
