Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Presented by Chef Zouheir Ingredients: 8 egg roll wrappers 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling Instructions: Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center, followed by a spoonful of cherry pie filling. Seal the Egg Rolls: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly. Seal the edges with a little water. Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain and Serve: Drain the egg rolls on paper towels and serve warm. Tips: For a healthier option, you can bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. You can dust the finished egg rolls with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
