Ingredients
Scale
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 24.3 ounces no-bake cheesecake filling (such as Philadelphia)
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Topping
- ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare Wrappers: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface and brush the edges generously with melted butter to help seal them during rolling.
- Fill Egg Rolls: Spoon a portion of the no-bake cheesecake filling and cherry pie filling into the center of each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spillage during frying.
- Wrap Tightly: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from one corner to secure. For extra security, double wrap each egg roll by using an additional wrapper layer.
- Heat Oil: Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium heat until hot but not smoking, approximately 350°F (175°C).
- Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, frying them until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Use tongs to turn them evenly.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, immediately toss each egg roll in a bowl containing the mixed granulated sugar and cinnamon to coat evenly.
- Serve: Sprinkle the coated egg rolls with graham cracker crumbs and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Double wrapping the egg rolls prevents leakage during frying, keeping the filling inside.
- Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for best frying results and to avoid greasy egg rolls.
- Feel free to substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings for different flavor variations.
- These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh and hot; leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
