There’s something universally appealing about the combination of creamy and crispy textures.

Whether you’re planning a game night, a birthday party, or just craving something special on a Tuesday evening, these egg rolls fit the bill. They bridge the gap between casual snack and celebratory treat perfectly. I love having a repertoire of simple recipes like this one that I can pull out for any event.

The Magic of Quick Recipes

The real beauty of dishes like this lies in their efficiency. A great quick and easy recipe doesn’t sacrifice flavor for speed. It uses smart shortcuts and reliable techniques to deliver fantastic results in a fraction of the time. Using pre-made egg roll wrappers and cherry pie filling are perfect examples—they let you focus on creating the creamy, flavorful cheese mixture and achieving that perfect golden fry. This approach is at the heart of what I share on Betty Cooks.

Tips for the Best Quick and Easy Recipes

To ensure your egg rolls are flawless every time, keep a couple of things in mind. First, make sure your oil is at the right temperature (around 350°F). If it’s too cool, the rolls will soak up oil and become greasy; too hot, and they’ll brown before the filling heats through. Second, don’t overfill the wrappers! A couple of tablespoons is plenty. Overstuffing can cause them to burst during frying. Following these simple recipe tips guarantees a crispy exterior and a perfectly cooked, gooey center.

My Version: Simple and Delicious

I’ve kept the ingredient list straightforward and the method clear because that’s how the best easy recipes work. The joy is in the eating, not in complicated prep. The creamy filling with a hint of vanilla perfectly complements the sweet-tart cherries, creating a balanced flavor that’s not too heavy. It’s a dessert that feels indulgent but is surprisingly simple to make, which is always my goal. I hope you love making and sharing these as much as I do!

Ingredients

For the Filling

• 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 can (21 oz / 595g) cherry pie filling (or 1.5 cups)
• 8-10 egg roll wrappers
• 1 tablespoon water
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying

For Serving (Optional)

• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Chocolate or caramel sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
2. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep some texture. Refrigerate if not using immediately to firm up slightly.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (like a diamond).
2. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese and cherry filling in the center of the wrapper.
3. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with water using your finger or a pastry brush.
4. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold the left and right corners in towards the center. Roll the wrapper up tightly from the bottom to the top corner, pressing to seal. Ensure the final point is sealed well.

Cook the Egg Rolls

1. Heat about 1-2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, seam side down. Do not overcrowd.
3. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy all over.
4. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Serve

1. Let the egg rolls cool slightly for a minute or two.
2. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, optionally with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping.
