Servings: 15 egg rolls
Equipment
- Electric hand mixer
- Measuring spoons
- large mixing bowl
- Small Mixing bowl
- small microwavable bowl
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 15 egg roll wrappers
- ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) butter, unsalted and melted
- 1½ cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, eggs, and spices with an electric mixer until well combined and smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1½ cups sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Set aside. You could also use a plate for this if you prefer to roll the egg rolls in the mixture instead of sprinkling the coating on.
- On a clean surface or a cutting board, place an egg roll wrapper down and add about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin cheesecake filling in the center of the egg roll wrapper, smooth out evenly, but keep the filling about ¼ inch from the edges.
- With a pastry brush, brush the edges of the egg roll wrapper with melted butter. Fold over the left and right sides of the egg roll wrapper, as shown in the process picture below. Then starting with the end closest to you, roll up the egg roll wrapper and seal it.
- Using the pastry brush again, brush the entire outside of the egg roll with melted butter and then roll in or sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place egg roll on a plate. Repeat steps 3 – 5 for the rest of the egg rolls.
- Preheat your air fryer, according to your machine’s directions. For this recipe, I preheated the air fryer for 3 minutes at 400 degrees. Place egg rolls in the basket of the air fryer, do not crowd. I was able to do 4 at a time. Air fry for 5 – 7 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Turn the pumpkin cheesecake egg rolls halfway through cooking time. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Be sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier blending.
- Recipe can be halved.
- If you wish to have a dipping sauce, try chocolate, or caramel, or make a cream cheese glaze to drizzle over the egg rolls.
- Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. To re-crisp, air fry for a few minutes.
