Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cherry jam or cherry pie filling
Egg Rolls
- 16 wonton wrappers (3 1/2-inch squares)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar (for cinnamon sugar mixture)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar mixture)
Instructions
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons sugar with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Prepare cream cheese filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and mix well to incorporate.
- Combine filling ingredients: Fold the cinnamon sugar mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended, creating a flavorful filling.
- Assemble egg rolls: Lay one wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Add cherry jam: Place about 1 teaspoon of cherry jam or cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture for a sweet and fruity contrast.
- Seal egg rolls: Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper over the filling, folding in corners to form a tightly sealed egg roll shape. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Preheat oven and butter egg rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each egg roll generously with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake the egg rolls: Arrange the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Cool and serve: Remove the egg rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, crunchy, and creamy treat.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
- Cherry pie filling can be substituted with any other fruit jam as desired.
- Brush egg rolls with melted butter before baking to enhance crispiness.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
- Use fresh cinnamon for the best aromatic flavor in the filling.
- Keep the wonton wrappers covered to prevent drying out while assembling.
