blueberry cheesecake egg rolls air fryer

These blueberry cheesecake egg rolls air fryer desserts combine creamy cheesecake filling with fresh blueberries, wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers and air-fried to golden perfection. Ready in under 15 minutes, they offer all the flavors of traditional cheesecake in a fun, portable format.

Equipment

  • You'll need an air fryer, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a small pastry brush for egg wash, and a clean kitchen towel to keep egg roll wrappers moist during assembly.

Ingredients
  

  • For the Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • For Assembly:
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Cooking spray
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Begin by making the filling for your blueberry cheesecake egg rolls air fryer recipe. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing until well combined. In a separate small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with cornstarch to prevent them from bursting during cooking, then gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Prepare your workspace by laying out the egg roll wrappers and covering unused ones with a damp towel to prevent drying. Place about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper, being careful not to overfill. To wrap, fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the side corners, then roll tightly toward the top corner. Brush the final corner with beaten egg to seal securely.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Brush each wrapped egg roll with the beaten egg wash for a beautiful golden color, then spray lightly with cooking spray. Place the blueberry cheesecake egg rolls air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don't touch each other.
  • Cook the blueberry cheesecake egg rolls air fryer style for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy when done. Remove carefully and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant presentation.

Notes

The key to perfect blueberry cheesecake egg rolls air fryer success is ensuring your cream cheese is properly softened for smooth mixing. Don't skip the cornstarch step with the blueberries, as this prevents them from bursting and making the wrappers soggy. Work quickly when assembling to prevent the egg roll wrappers from drying out.
