THIS RECIPE SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!! Cherry Cheesecake Eggrolls.

This is too much. It is evil and depraved! It is demonic! Unholy! And, as I make this, I will be chanting, "Get thee behind me, Satan!"

Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Ingredients
Cherry Filling
2 cups fresh cherries
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
7 tablespoon water, divided
3 tablespoon cornstarch

(Or, you can just buy a can of cherry, or whatever fruit you like, pie filling. That's what I'm going to do.)

Cream Cheese Filling
8 ounce softened cream cheese
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 egg roll wrappers
2+ cups vegetable oil, for frying
¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

Cherry Filling
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add cherries, sugar, 3 tablespoons water, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir and cook the cherries for approximately 3-4 minutes after coming to a boil.
In a small bowl, mix remaining water and cornstarch until combined then add to the cherry mixture.
Continue stirring until the cherry mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Cream Cheese Filling
In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
Assembling the Egg Rolls
Add a couple tablespoons of cream cheese mixture, in the center of the egg roll wrapper followed by a heaping spoonful of the cherry filling on top of the cream cheese filling.
Using your fingers, dip your finger into water and rub water along the edges of the wrapper (this will help seal the egg roll closed).
Tightly fold in sides over the filling and then roll the front edge up over the filling and towards the back.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, or frying pan to 375 degrees.
Add egg rolls, a few at a time, to pan and cook for a few minutes per side or until golden brown.
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving.

When my kids were growing up, a favorite treat was a sweet filling made into an egg roll. Very much like a McDonalds pie—the kind that used to burn your mouth.

Is cheesecake Rangoon!
I had it with raspberry sauce and shaved chocolate. Was BOMB!

Another easy one I had this summer:

Strawberry’s hulled well and stuffed with cream cheese and then the cheese part dipped in crushed graham cracker. Yum!
