Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese – softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
Egg Rolls and Coating
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (15 – 20 count)
- 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons) – melted
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, blend the softened cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin, and cinnamon until the mixture is thick, smooth, and well blended.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Open the egg roll wrappers and lay them out on parchment paper. Place about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper, spreading it evenly but keeping the filling about 1/4 inch from the edges to allow sealing.
- Seal the egg rolls: Melt the stick of butter in the microwave. Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of each egg roll wrapper with melted butter to help seal them when rolled.
- Coat the egg rolls: In a wide, flat dish, mix 2 cups of sugar with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Dip each rolled egg roll first in melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Air fry the egg rolls: Place the coated egg rolls in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 6 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking (approximately at 3 minutes), until they are golden brown. If needed, cook an additional 2 minutes for desired crispiness.
- Repeat and serve: Remove the cooked egg rolls and continue the process until all are prepared. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious pumpkin cheesecake egg rolls.
Notes
- Ensure the filling stays 1/4 inch from the edges to prevent leakage during air frying.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Keep an eye on the egg rolls during the last minutes of cooking to avoid burning.
- For extra flavor, you may add a pinch of nutmeg to the pumpkin cheesecake filling.
- Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container and reheat in an air fryer for best results.
