Can I use other fruit fillings for these egg rolls?

Absolutely! While cherry pie filling is delicious, you can easily substitute it with blueberry, apple, or even strawberry pie filling for a different flavor profile. Adjust sweetness as needed if using homemade fruit fillings.

How do I prevent the egg rolls from sticking in the air fryer?

Lightly spray or brush your air fryer basket with a neutral oil before placing the egg rolls inside. Ensure they are placed in a single layer with space between them for optimal air circulation and even crisping. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and sticking.

What are some good topping suggestions for these dessert egg rolls?

Beyond chopped nuts and granola, consider a drizzle of chocolate sauce, caramel, or a dusting of cinnamon sugar. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes them even more decadent. Fresh mint leaves can also add a nice touch of color.

Can I prepare these Air Fryer Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls ahead of time?

You can assemble the egg rolls a few hours in advance and store them, covered, in the refrigerator. For best results and crispiness, it's recommended to air fry them just before serving. If you cook them ahead, you can briefly reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness.

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and cherry pie filling. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface in a diamond shape. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese and cherry mixture near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll tightly upwards to form a snug egg roll. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
Step 3: Lightly spray the assembled egg rolls with cooking spray. Arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Carefully remove the hot egg rolls from the air fryer. Garnish with chopped nuts, granola, fresh cherries, and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened. Don't overfill the wrappers, and cook in batches to ensure even crisping in the air fryer.
