Air Fryer Cheesecake Egg Rolls

• servings: 15 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 37 minutes

Ingredients

16 oz. 2 packages cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup 100g granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 ½ oz. 1 jar fig jam

15 refrigerated ready-made egg roll wrappers

Egg wash: 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Olive oil cooking spray

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment, combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Mix well on medium speed for 2 minutes to combine. Remove cheesecake filling to a pastry bag or to a zip top bag with a corner snipped.

Stir the jam well in its jar so that it loosens and can easily be scooped with a spoon.

Lay an egg roll wrapper with a pointed end toward you; in the center, pipe on approximately 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Top with one tablespoon of jam. Use a pastry brush to coat the edges of the egg roll wrapper with egg wash. Fold bottom corner over filling, roll snugly half-way to cover filling. Fold in both sides snugly against the filling. Roll wrap up, making sure the top corner is well-sealed with the egg wash. Spray egg rolls with olive oil cooking spray on both sides.

Preheat air fryer to 370°F for 10 minutes. Allow the egg rolls to stand at room temperature while the fryer heats.

Place 4-5 egg rolls in the hot fryer basket. Fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden brown on top. Just like regular frying, you can count on at least one egg roll breaking and releasing filling during cooking. Clean up is easy using a paper towel to wipe out the basket (just be careful if it’s still hot!).

Remove rolls from the basket and let cool. Repeat frying until all of the egg rolls are cooked. Lightly brush golden tops of egg rolls with melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over egg rolls. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover s in the refrigerator.
