Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

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:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
