Ingredients
• 4 egg roll wrappers (vegan option available)
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

How to Make Air Fryer Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in diced strawberries and lemon zest.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, corner facing you. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold bottom corner over filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal edge with a dab of water or plant milk.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Step 4: Air Fry
Brush or spray egg rolls lightly with melted butter. Place in the basket seam-side down, leaving space between each. Air fry for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway if needed.
Step 5: Serve
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve warm for the best melty, creamy experience.
Pro Tips for Perfect Egg Rolls
• Keep filling chilled — warm filling can leak.
• Don’t overfill the wrappers — they might burst.
• Use a light coating of butter or oil for extra crispiness.
• Let them cool 1–2 minutes after air frying — cream cheese will be hot.
