Ingredients for Air Fryer Churro Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Gathering these simple ingredients is the first step to dessert bliss – and I promise you probably have most of them already! Here’s what you’ll need:

• 8 egg roll wrappers – the thin, square ones from the refrigerated section (don’t confuse them with spring roll wrappers!)
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened – I leave mine out for 30 minutes because lumpy filling is a no-go
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar – this sweetens the cheesecake filling just right
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – pure vanilla makes all the difference here
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon – for that authentic churro flavor
• 2 tbsp butter, melted – for brushing before air frying (makes them golden and crisp)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon – mixed together for the classic churro coating

See? Nothing fancy – just pantry staples transformed into something magical!

How to Make Air Fryer Churro Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Alright, let’s dive into making these magical little treats! I’ve broken it down into simple steps that even my 10-year-old can follow (with supervision, of course). Before you know it, you’ll be biting into crispy, creamy perfection!

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

First things first – that luscious filling! In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until it’s completely smooth. I mean no lumps allowed smooth – you want it silky enough to pipe. Pro tip: If your cream cheese is still chilly, microwave it for 10-second bursts until perfectly spreadable.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Now the fun part! Lay an egg roll wrapper diagonally (like a diamond) and plop about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, tuck in the sides tightly (this prevents leaks!), then roll it up like a burrito. Dip your finger in water and moisten the last corner to seal it shut. Repeat until all your wrappers are filled – you should get about 8 beautiful little packages.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) – this is crucial for even cooking! Lightly brush each egg roll with melted butter (this gives them that gorgeous golden color). Arrange them in a single layer – don’t crowd! Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. You’ll know they’re done when they’re evenly golden brown and crispy all over.

Step 4: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

The best part! While the egg rolls are still warm (but not piping hot), roll them in your cinnamon-sugar mixture. The warmth helps the sugar stick beautifully. I like to do this right over parchment paper – less mess and you can shake off any excess sugar easily. Serve immediately while that crispy exterior is at its peak!

See? Told you it was easy! Now try not to eat them all before sharing – I learned that lesson the hard way.

Crispy, golden, and filled with creamy cheesecake, these churro egg rolls are a dessert dream come true. If you’re craving another fun cheesecake twist, try our Air Fryer Blueberry Cheesecake Taquitos—sweet, fruity, and just as irresistible.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Churro Cheesecake Egg Rolls

After making these dozens of times (okay, maybe hundreds), I’ve picked up some tricks that make all the difference:

• Seal tight! Run a wet finger along the edges – any gaps mean oozing cheesecake filling in your air fryer (trust me, cleaning that is no fun)
• Know your air fryer – smaller models might need 1-2 minutes less, while larger ones might need more time
• Serve immediately – they’re crispiest right out of the air fryer (though I won’t judge if you sneak one while coating them!)
• Double the coating – for extra churro vibes, brush with butter after cooking and roll in cinnamon sugar again

Follow these, and you’ll get perfect egg rolls every single time!

Variations for Air Fryer Churro Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Once you’ve mastered the basic recipe (which is amazing on its own!), try these fun twists that keep things exciting:

• Chocolate lovers: Drizzle with melted chocolate or tuck chocolate chips into the filling
• Fall favorite: Swap cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice – tastes like autumn in every bite
• Berry bliss: Fold in some raspberry jam for a sweet-tart surprise
• Nutty delight: Add chopped pecans to the filling for extra crunch

See? Endless possibilities to make these your own signature treat!

Serving Suggestions

Oh, let me tell you how I love serving these beauties! A drizzle of warm caramel sauce takes them over the top, or for pure decadence, pair with vanilla ice cream that melts into all those crispy crevices. Morning version? Enjoy with your coffee – it’s basically breakfast!

Storing and Reheating Air Fryer Churro Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Here’s my tried-and-true method for keeping these treats perfect (if you somehow have leftovers!): Store cooled egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When cravings strike again, just pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes – they’ll crisp right back up like magic. Pro tip: Don’t microwave unless you want soggy sadness!

Nutritional Information for Air Fryer Churro Cheesecake Egg Rolls

Now, I’m no nutritionist, but here’s the scoop on what’s in these delicious little bundles of joy (because let’s be real – we all peek at the numbers sometimes!). Remember: These values are estimates and can change based on your specific ingredients.

• Per egg roll: About 180 calories
